Much Ado About Nothing (Globe2Globe Festival)

Much Ado About Nothing (French) @ Globe Theatre

Globe2Globe Festival

Wonderfully French

An hilarious production of one of Shakespeare's funniest plays. Armed with a basic grasp of French and a brilliant knowledge of the play (yes, I am smug about it!) I fell in love with Benedick and Beatrice all over again. 

Finely played by actors who were game for anything (and certainly the rain) the play was a treat to watch. The costumes were a part of the piece, B&B nearly cross-dressed and Benedick's facial hair quick-change was both show stealing and show stopping (ish), with the physical set pieces such as the overhearing/eavesdropping scene a brilliant addition to some lovely action.
