SHAKESPEARE'S sparkling comedy Much Ado About Nothing has been given a '50s makeover in John Kyrle High School's next school production.

Intermingling plots involve the bringing together of the anti-marriage Benedick and Beatrice and the near fatal attempt to ruin the reputation of the ever-faithful Hero. Add to this a masked ball, a roving boy band and plenty of opportunities for a good dance and it's a recipe for a fun-packed evening with the bard.

The large cast are sticking on the sequins and brushing up their dancing skills for what promises to be an innovative and glamorous evening's entertainment on February 5-7 at 7.30pm.

Tickets are available from the Ross-on-Wye school's office.
