Much Ado About Nothing Reviews

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.

AN APOLOGY

Sorry Adam! My partner had to type the review for me as I can't always use my hands and he made a mistake with your name. Our apologies.

BRILLIANT!

Brilliant! Went to see this on Friday night, first Shakespeare play I've seen on stage. Laughed so much, really enjoyed, impressed by all performances, as intense at times and fairly long play but especially of David and Catherine both really, really amazing actors. Feels special, to have seen both of them in the same play. Would recommend highly.

WHAT A PERFORMANCE

Oh wow - I loved it and had great seats in the Royal Circle. David Tennant gave, as expected, a brilliant performance and Catherine Tate was equally fantastic. The rest of the cast, some of whom were making their stage debut helped make this a complete show rather than just about Beatrice & Benedict. I really hope that someone will have the foresight to film this and put it onto DVD once the run has finished, as I would eagerly sit and watch it again. My 8 year old nephew would also like to see it, (primarily because it's Dr Who), but what better way to introduce him to the world of Shakespeare, and a first rate production. If you can get tickets for this, then please go. You won't be disappointed.

BRILLIANT!!

Went to see this Saturday night and was enthralled. All the cast deserve a mention - Andy James in particular was excellent - but no surprise that the outright winners were David and Catherine - and their relationship not just with each other but to the audience as well. We were eating out of their hands! It was exceptionally funny in the first half - the paint scene was incredible - and dramtaically dark second half, but ending in a dance! Good moves!! The cast completely deserved their noisy standing ovation. Shame there were no signings that night though. Boo.

A TEENAGER'S REVIEW

I am a great lover of Shakespeare for my young age and have been trying to persuade my friends that Shakespeare is for young adults for a couple of years. This play I think will definately make them understand William Shakespeare. It was my first viewing of Much Ado About Nothing, and totally exeded my expediations. The beautiful words fitted wonderfully with the comedy, and the way the actors threw themselves into the roles made you want to jump up and include yourselves into the super scenes! Catherine Tate made a fiesty and proud Beatrice and never fell out of character once, David Tennant too, clearly adored being on stage and used that to be a hilarious and ethusastic Benedick. The rest of the cast too, made their parts spotless in performance, serious but funny as well. Altogether a fantastic night out, with much laughing out loud, tears in eyes and applauding.
