Much Ado About Little Jazz

Much ado about little jazz - a concert performance in all the tones of love.

Jazz on the lute? Shakespeare in a smoking jacket? Why not? The timeless love, flirting, and banter shine in the spotlight in this duet performance where evergreens from the 20th century and winged lines from the 16th century meet and stretch towards each other like in a peculiar waltz.

Monologues and dialogues from William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, A Midsummer Night's Dream, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, and Romeo and Juliet

Music from the repertoire of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker, and Marilyn Monroe in arrangements for the lute by Niklas Atterhall

Created and performed by Niklas Atterhall & Malin Sternbrink

Directed by Benoît Malmberg

Much Ado About Little Jazz premiered in August 2020 and has been performed at venues such as Kulturhuset Soppteatern in Stockholm, Göteborgs Stadsteater, Sibiu International Theatre Festival, and Craiova International Shakespeare Festival in Romania.
