"Catch Flights, Not Feelings" 



Don P and the Aragon boys - Benedick and Claudio - have been invited to the party island of Messina, by promoter Leon. Also, on the island (unbeknown to Leon) is his younger sister Hero and fiery cousin Beatrice. When Claudio locks eyes with Hero, its love at first sight but with “zero game” he must persuade Don P to help him win her love. However, DJ, (Don P’s illegitimate and jealous sibling) plots to deceive Claudio into believing Hero is unfaithful and chaos ensues.

Meanwhile Don P, convinced that Benedick and Beatrice are secretly in love, musters up a plan to get them together…. “Much Ado About Nothing? Nah, this one’s a lot fam…”

Will Claudio get his girl? Will DJ ruin the party? Will Beatrice and Benedick hook up?

It’s all happening in Messina, the land of sun, sea and socials!

Directed by Nana Antwi and written by Darren Raymond.

Darren Raymond says, ‘I wrote Much Ado About Nothing Remixed' because that’s what I do, I remix Shakespeare. In many ways the world has moved on since the Elizabethan days, but some unhelpful attitudes and ways of thinking still exist. This remix interrogates love, deception, misogyny, and gender through a 21st century, young London lens.’
