Bear In The Air Productions announces full Open
Air tour of Much Ado About Nothing

Off-West End award nominated theatre production company Bear In The Air Productions are
announcing an Open Air tour of Much Ado About Nothing this summer. They will tour the play
across the South of the UK, visiting cricket clubs, vineyards and theatres in Banbury,
Sawbridgeworth, Milton Keynes and beyond. The show will spend a full week at the Brockley Jack
Theatre in London in August, before rounding off performances in Henley.


Bear In The Air are committed to supporting regional communities, and bringing high quality
theatre to audiences outside of London. The tour is, in part, driven by a desire to give back, with
most performances being in aide of the venues.


On the map alongside the Brockley Jack, among others, is the iconic and historic Bletchley Park.
With the Bletchley Park drama group performing Much Ado About Nothing back in 1943, this tour
marks the plays proud return to the grounds.
