Much Ado About Nothing Plot Summary in One Minute - National Theatre

--
Shakespeare’s much-loved comedy of new beginnings.

Escape to the Italian Riviera with a cast including Katherine Parkinson (Home, I'm Darling, The IT Crowd) and John Heffernan (Dracula, She Stoops to Conquer).

Since the 1930s, the legendary family-run Hotel Messina has been visited by artists, celebrities and royalty. 

When the current owner’s daughter falls for a dashing young soldier, the hallways are ringing with the sound of wedding bells. 

However, not all the guests are in the mood for love, and a string of deceptions soon surround not only the young couple, but also the steadfastly single Beatrice and Benedick.

Director Simon Godwin (Twelfth Night, Antony and Cleopatra) returns following the award-winning success of his Romeo & Juliet film.

I just read this book two times... I love how benedick and Beatrice characters has been written... It's so lovely.

Classic Shakespeare move, fake death. Anesthesia was like the nuclear fission of that era or something I guess.

Really sounds like much ado about nothing though in this fashion. Nicely done

I'm going to see it tomorrow evening. Still not quite sure what I'm going to see. Does it use Shakespeare's language in a modern setting, or has it been totally rewritten?
