Solihull Arts Complex

As part of Festival 36, we are delighted to announce that we'll be schowing an Encore screening of the National Theatre Live production of Much Ado About Nothing on the big screen at The Core Theatre Solihull.

Shakespeare’s much-loved comedy of new beginnings.

Escape to the Italian Riviera with a cast including Katherine Parkinson (Home, I'm Darling, The IT Crowd) and John Heffernan (Dracula, She Stoops to Conquer).

Since 1931, the legendary family-run Hotel Messina has been visited by artists, celebrities and royalty. 

When the current owner’s daughter falls for a dashing young soldier, the hallways are ringing with the sound of wedding bells. 

However, not all the guests are in the mood for love, and a string of deceptions soon surround not only the young couple, but also the steadfastly single Beatrice and Benedick.

Director Simon Godwin (Twelfth Night, Antony and Cleopatra) returns following the award-winning success of his Romeo & Juliet film.

This is a screening, not a live production.
