Open-Air English Theater — Much Ado About Nothing

"Much Ado About Nothing" is a comedy by William Shakespeare that revolves around misunderstandings, confusion, and love stories. It centers on two couples: Claudio and Hero, and Benedick and Beatrice. Claudio falls in love with Hero, Leonato's daughter, but Don John, Don Pedro's illegitimate brother, wants to prevent the wedding. He pretends that Hero is unfaithful, which leads to a dramatic separation. At the same time, the pranks develop between Benedick and Beatrice, two sharp-witted, articulate characters who initially dislike each other but eventually discover their feelings for each other through an intrigue by their friends. In the end, Hero is exposed as innocent, and Claudio realizes his mistake. Benedick and Beatrice confess their love, and the couples find happiness. The comedy ends with a feast and celebration for the reconciled couples.
This theater production will be performed in English outdoors in the castle courtyard but will be moved indoors to the Knight’s Hall in the event of bad weather.
Tickets are CHF 38 for adults and CHF 28 for youths and students.
