Much Ado About Nothing

A Far West adaptation of Shakespeare's classic for a timeless, colourful comedy.

Messina is in turmoil: Don Pedro is back from the war, victorious and with his troops in full force! His protégé, the fiery Claudio, is about to marry the beautiful Hero, and the verbal jousting between the witty Benedick and the impetuous Beatrice is a delight to all. The festivities are in full swing, but Don John, Don Pedro's scheming brother, is determined to ruin everyone's plans...

A scathing, spaghetti-western version that gives pride of place to comedy without forgetting the tragic depth of Shakespeare's text!

Exceptional performance in aid of A FORCE d'ENVIES on Wednesday 15 April 2026 from 7.45pm
«A Force d'Envies» welcomes women in remission from breast cancer and organises stays where yoga, physical activity, ayurvedic massages, body expression and theatre workshops are offered to provide comprehensive care. The association, which was founded in April 2016, is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and its guiding principle is to restore women's confidence in their physical and psychological abilities, so that they can become active players in their own recovery.

The association's team will open the evening at 7.45pm, providing an opportunity to remember that breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women (i.e. more than 61,000 new cases per year - the leading cancer among women) and to hear the testimonies of women who have benefited from these stays.

Le Ranelagh has been following since 2017 A force d'Envies by donating all ticket sales from this performance to the association with the support of the artists on stage, in order to help finance 2 holidays planned in June 2026 in the Morvan and in August in the Dordogne.
