Vamos Theatre gets into the Olympic spirit

By Caroline King - February 15, 2012Posted in : Theatre

Vamos Theatre presents Much Ado about Wenlock When: 1st March 2012 at 7pm

Where: Trefonen Village Hall, Oswestry, Shropshire SY10 9DY

£: Adults 7.50, children 4 and family ticket 20

What is it?

With the approaching London Olympics 2012, Vamos Theatre is set to explore it’s unlikely UK roots from the small Shropshire town. Much Ado about Wenlock will be a full mask production with original music, a combination of physicality, theatricality and dance choreography.

The play features characters drawn from the local Victorian community; the butcher’s wife will be practising her hammer throws with un-plucked pheasants; the postman using his letters and parcels to perfect his discus; the local school children, under the stern eye of the strict school mistress and her authoritarian hand, will do their very best! Heart-warming humour and history.
