LAST CHANCE TO SEE

Our Summer 2026 season must end on 25 October

Pippa Nixon, a white woman with shoulder-length brown hair, and Ken Nwosu, a bald man with brown skin and a beard, are seated on a bench on grass outside a white building with a thatched roof. There is a realistic cow mask beside them.

Much Ado About Nothing

In sun-soaked Messina, sharp tongues, short tempers and savage gossip collide in an unfiltered rom-com about secrets, status and second chances.
