Mel Giedroyc Performs In Rose Theatre's Much Ado
Swapping the cameras and cues of the telly for the bright lights of the stage, celebrated British actress and media personality Mel Giedroyc helps celebrate the Rose Theatre's 10th Anniversary with a performance in the Shakespearean classic Much Ado About Nothing. A poignant examination of life, love and realisation in a male-dominated world, the bard's witty tale is as relevant as ever!
The production uses Shakespeare's original text while transporting the action to present day. Mafia boss Don Pedro has won a turf war making him king of his city, so naturally he and his entourage celebrate their victory at Messina, a luxury spa in the Sicilian hills. His protege Claudio falls for the hotel owner's daughter Hero, but matters become complicated when Pedro's dastardly brother's schemes threaten their happiness.

Splendid Shakespeare
This has to be one of the most imaginative interpretations of this often maligned comedy by the bard. I have seen many productions during many years of theatre going but this was, by far and away, the most enjoyable. I was with my partner for whom this was a first Shakespeare.I am delighted to say that he is now eagerly awaiting the next one! The whole cast deserve the highest praise. If I were to single out individuals it would have to be Tom Batemans' Claudio and Andy James' Don Pedro. Also I would like to mention Kathryn Hunt. I have always admired this actors' work and she did not disappoint-great work!
Finally, the two leads.David Tennants' comic timing is just superb and his connection with the audience is amazing. Long admired his work in all it's forms but he definitely excels on stage with a live audience. Catherine Tate is a perfect foil and the empathy between her and David Tennant is tangible. T'n'T - pure dynamite!!!
A total joy of a production. ... Read more

Brilliant
The two nights before this performance, David was too ill to
perform, but you would not have been able to tell by his
performance tonight. Was pleasantly surprised by the very creative
on stage directing, it left me in tears of laughter at points! The
whole cast was brilliant, now in their last few shows, and left me
with a buzz after it ended. Wish I could go again. ... Read more
