April 2 - May 6.

Director Matthew FGreeman's Concept:
William Shakesp[eare's light comedy Much Ado About Nothing is still stunningly contemporary, especially considering how the entire show hinges on misonogynistic 'banter' and the refusal to believe women, which is sadly an ongoing issue. To highlight this, this show will be set in modern Mediterranean Messina (with more than a hint of Mamma Mia). A war has just ended, and everone is in relaxed vacation mode (the plot makes more sense if you imagine that everyone has a drink in hand throughout), which makes the horribly cruel wedding scene hit even harder when the tone shifts. The humour will be a major focus, howeverm with slapstick and wordplay.

Eltham Cast Requirements:
Every castr member will be expected to Join Eltham Little Theatre company and must be prepared to help in more ways than just learning lines. Cast membgers are expected to help Front of House during the cu rrentm memebership year, assist with set building on certain construction weelends for Much Ado About Nothing and help bump in and out. Auditionees who are willing to pitch are not encoraged to audition. This s a group effort and ELT are proud to all work together.
