The Stockholm English Speaking Theatre’s Much Ado About Nothing is celebrating the Bard’s 450th birthday with a royal performance.
The production may be set in Sicily in the late 1950s, but the performances themselves will take place in the grounds of a Swedish palace.
After opening performances (11 and 12 July) at the park theatre on Djurgården, the action moves to Drottningholms Palace Garden and Rosendals Wärdshus on Djurgården for later performances.
A cast of six actors portrays the complete set of Shakespeare’s characters, presenting a performance full of “flamboyant costumes, swords, singing and dancing,” says SEST co-founder Kristina Leon.
The show will run until 2 August. To find specific performance times and to purchase tickets visit the company’s Facebook page.
