MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
Shakespeare’s Globe until 23rd October
Performing Shakespeare outdoors is a triumph of hope over experience. Goodness knows how Shakespeare managed it. Was the British weather just as capricious in his day? If it’s wet and cold, it can be miserable – and when the sun shines, it feels magical.
For anyone seeing this Much Ado on a sunny day, its faults pale into insignificance, eclipsed by its exuberant bonhomie.
