The Marvellous Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell star as Shakespeare’s sparring lovers, Benedick and Beatrice, in Much Ado About Nothing at Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

What is Much Ado About Nothing About?
“I do love nothing in the world so well as you: is not that strange?”
One of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies, the play revolves around two pairs of lovers: the witty and sharp-tongued Beatrice and Benedick, who engage in a "merry war" of words, and the young, romantic couple Claudio and Hero. However, when a cruel prank backfires and the four lovers are thrown into disarray, will their relationships weather the storm?
Exploring themes of love, honour, and misunderstandings, Much Ado About Nothing is the blueprint for the modern rom-com. A heartwarming celebration of love and redemption, it may be 400 years old, but audiences' love for the classic comedy is still as strong as ever.
