The problem for Christmas 1977 was how to follow such a successful and varied group of plays particularly as we now had a very experienced group of actors. Shakespeare is never far from the minds of the producers and the Drama Society has happy memories of three successful productions of Shakespeare comedies. So it was that after trips to Stratford and the Aldwych to see the current Royal Shakespeare production of "Much Ado About Nothing", the producers decided that this would be the Drama Society's Christmas offering.
The producers did not realize it at the start, but this was perhaps to be their most difficult
production. Only on the first night were Mr. Crawford and Mr. Tufnell satisfied that they had
chosen wisely and the play really was up to the high standard of previous productions. By the
last night it was obvious from the reactions and comments of audiences that this was one of the
most enjoyable and successful productions undertaken by the Drama Society.
