Lineup and details for Much Ado About Wenlock on Wednesday 23rd May 2012
In 1850, the Shropshire market town of Much Wenlock hosted its very own Olympian Games, which was to become an inspiration for the modern Games. In a captivatingly comic production that celebrates the Games unlikely UK roots "Much Ado About Wenlock reaveals a local doctor's determination to improve the health of townsfolk, rich or poor. Will Dr Penny Brookes inspire the workingmen to swap their tipple for triple jumping? Will Beatty the schoolmistress win over the cynical Reverend Benedict Wayne? Will little Eddie Sankey triumph over the bullying butchers boy, Archibald Blockley? And will our national love of the underdog be satisfied in this heroic piece of theatre?
A glorious full mask show, with original music, amazing physicality, and dance choreography, Much Ado About Wenlock is an inventive adventure for everyone.
Much Ado About Wenlock is part of the London 2012 Inspire Programme. As a happy coincidence this show takes place on the very day the Olympic Torch arrives in Worcestershire
