Much Ado about Fundraising

Following last year’s successful run of ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’ at BOAT, the Brighton Shakespeare Company was founded by Mark Brailsford, the Artistic Director of Dyke Road’s Rialto Theatre, and founder the satirical revue, ‘The Treason Show.’ BSC’s aim is to bring the cream of Brighton’s  characterful comedy talent to the works of William Shakespeare  and to make the canon more accessible and entertaining to modern audiences by being faithful to the writing genius of the Bard himself. The company will present ‘Much Ado about Nothing’ at BOAT in Dyke Road Park between 10-14 August.
