Theatre in the Botanical Garden

Experience Shakespeare's comedy Much Ado About Nothing

15 August – 2 September 2023 at 7:00 PM – 8:45 PM
The performance is in English

ThEATRE AND PICNIC IN THE OPENExperience the enchanting comedy 'Much Ado About Nothing' with the Botanical Garden as backdrop. Enjoy a glass of wine and a picnic in the green garden while being entertained by one of Shakespeare's classic tales full of humour and innocent love.

For the fourth time, the theater troupe After Hours Theatre Company transforms the garden's lake, paths, and hiding places into the stage for Theatre in the Botanical Garden. With the romantic oasis as backdrop, the actors take us into Shakespeare's world of young love, contrasts, misunderstandings, and masquerades - and of course, plenty of fun and mischief.

In Shakespeare's lively comedy, 'Much Ado About Nothing', we meet Beatrice and Benedick, who are tricked into falling in love with each other. In contrast to their love, we have the relationship between Hero and Claudio, where Claudio is deceived into rejecting Hero at the altar on their wedding day.

Picnic in the garden before the play

Bring blankets and food and enjoy your own picnic from 6 PM on the lawn before the curtain falls at 7 PM. In the Botanical Garden's shop, you can buy water, juice, ice cream, organic red and white wine, beer (with/without alcohol) and chips. Good to know before the play.
