In 2022 Drama in the Dale returned to Harehope Quarry to perform Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. 

We started rehearsals with workshops led Tom Hogan  from Proud and Loud Theatre Company in Manchester. Tom has supported Drama in the Dale since its conception in 2013. The workshops drew in new members who then took on roles in the production. For some of the company this meant taking on roles outside their comfort zones. 

Despite many obstacles along the way the production once again exceeded all expectations.

Thanks must go to the support given to Drama in the Dale by Jill Essam of Harehope Quarry Project, allowing us to take over the site for most of the summer.
