Description was written before the event

Much Ado About Nothing is a sparkling Shakespearean comedy full of witty banter, romantic intrigues, misunderstandings, and happily foiled plans. The performance is in English, presented by The Merry Wanderers ensemble under the Department of English Language and Literature at the Faculty of Education of Masaryk University.

About the venue: BARKA Theatre

Divadlo BARKA is a barrier-free community theatre in the Královo Pole district of Brno, operated by the civic association Liga vozíčkářů (Wheelchair Users' League) since 1994. It is housed in a 1925 Constructivist building originally built as a Hussite church. The 150-seat hall with a 9×9 m stage serves around 40 ensembles per year, including amateur, integrated, student and professional groups. The theatre has no resident company of its own, acting instead as a venue provider and festival organiser.
