Much Ado About Nothing Friday November 10, Arc Theatre, Trowbridge.

In their latest production Much Ado About Nothing, at the Arc Theatre, Trowbridge, tonight at 7.30pm, pirateutopia invite the audience to directly interact with the performers on-stage.

Using mobile phone text messages, roving mics and projection, you can question the characters during the show and affect the performance.

In the studio of Pedro Productions, Beatrice and Benedict prepare to host their weekly debate show Down With Love.

In the dressing rooms, the guests wait to find out what will happen to them while backstage, evil revenge is planned.

As romance turns to tragedy, the two sparring partners are forced to unite to expose the villains; and unexpectedly find love.

The production is a joint project between Norwich Arts Centre, pirateutopia.org and two Norfolk schools and is the launch event of a major education initiative to engage young people in theatre through new technology.

But it's not just for the kids. Despite the modern setting and the multi-media gimmicks, the show retains the heart and soul of Shakespeare's classic battle-of-the-sexes comedy.

Fans of the play will still enjoy the verbal jousting, the misunderstandings, the practical jokes and the genuine drama when two confirmed singles realise they are in love.
