A Chipping Campden theatre is gearing up to host a William Shakespeare classic in its amphitheatre.

'Much Ado About Nothing' by the Sweet Sorrow Theatre Company from Stratford-upon-Avon will feature mischief, reunions, and post-war revenge.

Getting underway at 12pm and 5pm, the performance will tell the hilarious and heartwarming story of Benedick and Beatrice with the backdrop of the Cotswold countryside.

Attendees are advised to bring their own cushions as seating is unallocated.

The comedy will be staged at Cidermill Theatre on Saturday, September 7.
