Story
A new production of William Shakespeare’s famous comedy MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING is coming to Theatre Royal Drury Lane for a limited run in early 2025.
Tom Hiddleston is Benedick and Hayley Atwell is Beatrice. Two of their generation’s finest actors collaborate with director Jamie Lloyd again in this savagely funny and beautifully tender battle of wits.
After years of war, an idyllic Italian town is finally back in bloom. But Young lovers Claudio and Hero, and sparring singletons Beatrice and Benedick, soon discover that all is not as it seems in their beautiful surroundings as they become entangled in a series of mischievous games, pranks and plots.
