Hero and Claudio are seemingly the perfect couple, falling in love at first sight and instantly preparing to marry. Beatrice and Benedick, on the other hand, are constantly bickering – though their friends are determined to bring them together.

One of Shakespeare’s wittiest, most charming plays, but with plenty of drama too, it’s at Corpus Christi College from 22 to 31 August, 7.30pm and 2pm (most days, but check online). Tickets £20.
