8/10
Celeb Shakespeare Comedy
5 September 2020
It's hard to go wrong with Much Ado About Nothing. This version uses the strengths of its celebrity stars David Tennant and Catherine Tate to whip up the eternal love-hate story of Beatrice and Benedick. Tate is sharp-tongued. Tennant is his peculiar brand of arrogant, handsome, and dorky. The slapstick gags alone are worth a watch, and the 80s costumes of the masquerade scene gave a cute twist in the midst of the action. Tom Bateman looks - distractingly- a bit like a young Marlon Brando as Claudio. Well worth a watch or two.
