I also apologise to Mr Tenant ( David) and Ms Tate ( Catherine) for standing up and screaming and clapping so loudly at the end my version of the mexican wave - i myself think this was an out of body experience and completely out of my control but my daughter who sat next to me cringing with embarrassment thinks (knows me to well) otherwise!!! . the show was bloody fantastic, i loved Hero , and the police / army chap who was the best Ass !!! hilarious , i am obviously a huge fan of Mr T and Ms T but also a lover of Shakespeare and this so far was my favourite , i cried with laughter so much so that on Sunday my ribs and stomach muscles ached so much i thought i had been to the gym!!!

SHAKESPEARE AS THE BARD INTENDED

I first saw this in June with my 12 year old daughter, and it is the funniest play we have seen in a long time. Shakespeare intended the play to be bawdy and funny, and this production is just that. The cast were clearly enjoying themselves & despite the wettest night of the year, their mood was infectious. I think a mature 12 year old is fine, but no younger, and yes I would take an older person .

FANTASTIC

I actually think this is quite possibly one of the best productions I have ever seen. Catherine Tate brings such vitality to the role of Beatrice and the pairing of her and David Tennant is masterful. The comedic performances from both of them were hilarious. I cried with laughter and also shed a tear. You MUST see this!

WONDERFUL NIGHT OF FUN

Recently while on holiday in London I managed to catch 2 of the preview shows. The production is excellent and the cast were uniformly very good and displayed great verve and enthusiasm in this much loved play. David Tennant brought his usual energy on and off stage (he nearly bowled me over in the foyer on one evening!) He demonstrated a genuine ability and talent to subtly reveal the nuances of Benedict even through moments of high comedy. Catherine Tate's Beatrice was a good match for Benedict in that Catherine’s performance took the audience through the full gamut from comedy to despair and finally to joy, hope and promise. David and Catherine obviously enjoyed themselves and their joy was reflected in their performances. I would unequivocally recommend this production to all ages and I too, would hope that there are plans to record and release a DVD. Hope the troubles in London have not directly effected anyone connected with the production. Thanks for 2 wonderful nights!

THE BEST PRODUCTION PERFORMED ON A STAGE

I went to see Much Ado About Nothing on Tuesday, August 9th. I attended because of Tennant and Tate but was impressed by the entire cast. The performance was absolutely brilliant and I recommend it to anyone who can make it into London before the run ends. Tennant and Tate had wonderful chemistry as all would assume. The folly of Shakespeare's play was not lost on the actors. I commend the director for such a lovely job. I loved seeing the passion for theatre that the actors had. Thank you for sharing your joy and gifts with us.

EINFACH GROßARTIG

Sicherlich nicht das, was ich erwartet hatte, als ich Karten für Shakespeare kaufte, aber mein Mann und ich waren nicht enttäuscht, sondern vielmehr positiv überrascht. David Tennant und Catherine Tate waren einfach überragend, die Inszenierung war pointiert, voller Wortwitz und perfektem Timing. Wir haben Tränen gelacht und hätten uns keinen schöneren Abend wünschen können. Gehen Sie hin, es ist fantastisch.

BRILLIANT!

An absolutely brilliant take on Much Ado about Nothing, with a strong supporting cast, and flawless performances from Catherine Tate and David Tennant!
