One of Shakespeare’s greatest comedies plays under the stars at the 16th Annual Shakespeare Festival

Dazzling wit, perfect comedy, dangerous possibilities and cruel deceits, Much Ado is
deservedly beloved of audiences worldwide. Sport for Jove’s newest Summer Season production, directed by the wonderful Samantha Young (Away, 2016), challenges the play’s darkest edges, while celebrating its extraordinary liveliness and tumultuous couplings – Benedick and Beatrice, Hero and Claudio – along with the eccentric community that orbits them.

Don Pedro’s army is home, and so the war begins – can women trust men, can men recognise women, can love be dened by something more than words? Sport for Jove kick off their biggest year ever in 2025 with this much loved Shakespearean classic that is full of wit, love and romance. Enjoy watching a hilarious, intimate cast of 7 actors play an array of characters and let them dazzle you under the stars for some Christmas and New year cheer.

SFJ are thrilled to be back this summer with an array of exciting venues, The Hub (Blue Mountains Theatre in Springwood), along with our beloved Bella Vista Farm and the stunning Everglades Garden Theatre in Leura. A season of love and overcoming, of iconic favourites and bold new adventures.
