A-MAZ-ING

I went to see this play yesterday and it was incredible. The modern twist really brought it to its own and really worked. David Tennant and Catherine Tate were brilliant together and some scenes were hilarious. I loved it and hope they make a DVD of it as I really want to see it again!!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!

This was the best thing I have ever seen in the theatre. David Tennant and Catherine Tate are perfect for the parts of Beatrice and Benedick and were hilarious. The chemistry between these two actors who are also great friends was obvious and just added to the performance. Loved David Tennant playing the part in his native Scottish accent speaking Shakespearian English - made him even funnier. And setting the action in modern times was inspired. The standing ovation the whole cast received at the end was so well deserved - go and see it if you possibly can!

OUTSTANDING

Saw the play Sat 21st Evening performance, with friends. What an outstanding triumph. I am a big fan of Shakespeare and we try to see a couple of shows a year, this was by far the best to date. Claudio and Hero, sublime and from two actors who were debuting in the west end, Bravo to you both fantastic performances. The rest of the cast, brilliant, fantastic performance by the villians Don John and his boys. The set was clever and tidy, couldn't work out how they move the pillars, that's going to bug me.... David and Catherine everything we hoped for, they sparked off each other and the rest of the cast. And judging by the standing ovation at the end I would say I wasn't the only one who had enjoyed the show. Well done to everyone involved a very enjoyable evening. Can i make one suggestion "Twelfth Night" next please, you guys would do it such justice.

HUGE THUMPS UP!!!!!!!!

Saw the Production on the 21st of May, was really looking forward to seeing it - And it didn't disappoint!! Was laughing throughtout, even through the small cockups made on stage, this made us all laugh even more. But in the end the cast carried on regardless - True Professionals!! David and Catherine were probably the one's who most came to see, but Everyone of the Cast performed brilliantly that night. Enjoyed it so much, have tickets to see it again in July...

OUTSTANDING!

I saw Much Ado on Friday evening with my 18 yr old daughter. She is an avid Shakespeare fan, loves the theatre and Much Ado is her favourite play and we also both love DT and CT. Were we disappointed? Absolutely not. It takes quite a lot to impress me, and make me laugh as much as I did. But I was very very impressed and found it very very funny. I was so surprised by the setting, but loved it, being from that era... Everything about it was perfect in fact I could watch it over and over. Seeing David in lace tights - well what can you say. I have no criticism at all. My daughter also loved every minute of it. We both want to go again. Shakespeare, we know is a genius, but in this instance so is the director and so are All of the cast. Supreme.

MUCH ADO ABOUT SOMETHING......

I came to see 'Much Ado' last Saturday afternoon and my heart sank when the curtain rose and the play began. I am a great lover of Shakespeare, and usually prefer it played as 'Shakesperian' in period. However, this production was brilliant and I just loved it. The 'modernist' presentation did not spoil one moment of my enjoyment. David Tennant and Catherine Tate were just right as Beatrice and Benedict; there is a natural empathy between them and they used it perfectly to portray their two very believable characters. All the roles were well cast, and excellent in their portrayals. I heard every word from the back of the stalls, although inevitably I lost a few due to the laughter from the audience. The lightheartedness of the comedy came across very well, and it contrasted superbly with the amazement and sincerity shown between B and B when at last they discover and acknowledge their mutual feelings. Expensive treat for a pensioner but worth every penny. Bring the family!
