Professional theatre company Rain or Shine, hailed by ‘The Stage’ as “one of the best companies touring open air theatre" are set to delight family audiences once again this summer with their production of Shakespeare’s merry war of words and wit - Much Ado About Nothing.

It is November 1918, The Great War has finally come to end, and the men of the British military forces are returning to their homes. Don Pedro and his comrades are returning to Messina (a little known village on the edge of the Cotswolds) where they are met by friends, old and new. Join Rain or Shine Theatre Company this summer, as they visit one of Shakespeare’s best loved comedies.

So dig out your hampers and load up your picnic bags for Rain or Shine’s 20th anniversary of summer tours, as the people of Messina find love, scupper mischievous plots and celebrate new found peace across the world!

Sure to delight family audiences from six to 96, this is an ideal choice for an outdoor theatrical event.

The tour includes a performance at Goodrich Castle (EH), Ross-on-Wye on Friday, August 24th at 7.30pm.

Tickets from EH on 03703 331183 or direct from Rain or Shine on 01452 521575 or via rainorshine.co.uk.

Audiences are requested to bring along low-backed seating or rugs, and a picnic to maximise their enjoyment of the al fresco performances.
