Much Ado About Nothing
by William Shakespeare
‘A Much Ado that is not only funny but that also reaches into the human experience.' Guardian
‘Wanamaker and Russell Beale, two glorious actors capturing the wonder of love in the middle age with unforgettable tenderness and humour.' Telegraph
Promise of a masked ball hastens the men from battle to the festive house of Leonato, where beautiful, wealthy young Hero catches the eye of Claudio, the dashing soldier. Instantly attracted to each other, they rush into marriage. There is no such hurry for seasoned singles Beatrice and Benedick, whose scorn for love and penchant for verbal sparring provoke their scheming friends to plot a happy ending.
Beatrice and Benedick are played by Zoë Wanamaker and Simon Russell Beale in Shakespeare’s dark and dazzling comedy.
