Actors From The London Stage return to Wellesley College campus with their Fall 2026 Tour. Five of England’s top Shakespearean actors bring the Bard’s Much Ado About Nothing to campus for a week-long Educational Residency culminating in three free performances: September 17th-19th, at the Diana Chapman Walsh Alumnae Hall Auditorium.
The Actors From The London Stage (AFTLS) present Much Ado About Nothing in a unique actor-driven production; one of the oldest established touring Shakespeare companies in the world, the AFTLS company ethos and mission is simplicity at its finest. Five actors take the stage, with minimal props and costumes, and direct themselves in a performance of a complete Shakespeare play, with each actor portraying multiple roles. Coming from such prestigious companies as the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre of Great Britain and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, these classically trained actors are equally dedicated to bringing Shakespeare’s work to life.
