Alastair Kennedy as Don John/Verges

We are lucky to have Zac Effron look-alike Alastair Kenedy in his debut performance of Shakespeare. Alastair is an extremely talented actor who will no doubt have a long career in film, television and stage.

Both able to perform serious dramatic roles and with great comic timing, we are lucky to give him his first break on stage in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.

Shakira Krystal Pacaña plays Margaret and Borachio.

Shakira is a Sydney based dancer, actress, and stunt performer. Her last theatrical appearance was at the 2019 Los Angeles Fringe Festival, followed by an exciting performing stint in Singapore.
Since then, she has expanded her craft into film and television, channeling her passion for Martial Arts into a dedicated pursuit of Stunts. Now a certified MEAA (Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance) Stunt Action Performer, she brings strength, precision, and artistry to every role. She has a supporting actress role in the upcoming action feature film Echo 8, to be released in late 2026. Currently, she makes her vibrant return to live performance and Shakespeare debut in the iconic roles of Margaret and Borachio in "Much Ado About Nothing" - an exciting homecoming to stage (or park) she's long called home.

Introducing Tony Rahme as Claudio

Tony Rahme is thrilled to be playing Claudio in Much Ado About Nothing. After years in Sydney's film and content-creating scene, Tony is enjoying the shift from a Western Sydney stereotype to the classical stage — though he’s found that, "acting like a soldier" is much easier than, "acting like a man who isn’t confused by iambic pentameter."
