Much Ado About Nothing

After civil war Messina seems to have returned to peace with few casualties and a courtship holds the promise of reconciling the battle of the sexes in a well matched wedding. But the reconciliation’s have been too hurried and soldiers can’t return to the civilian world overnight.It’s the 1960s, and change is in the air on a sun-drenched island steeped in tradition. The old order is about to be shaken up by a new spirit of liberation, as our thoroughly modern heroine, Beatrice, determines not to be “overmastered”. Featuring original music inspired by everything from Sicilian Tarantella to 1960s Italian pop.
