Lifelong dream to see a play at the Globe. I truly felt transported watching Much Ado about Nothing. The whole cast inhabited their roles with such life and humor. Would definitely come to another production.

Excellent cast and rendition of the Shakespear Classic.
Funny, fast flowing. All of the cast were good.

I have never done Shakespeare at The Globe and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The casting was well done and loved the 1930's dressing.
We chose a good day, sat up in the gods with fair but not hot weather.
Would return in the spring.

I have rarely seen such an inventive and all absorbing production of Much Ado. The comedy was played to the full and the interpretation of the language made it so accessible. Beatrice and Benedick squeezed so much fun out of all their lines. Loved the physicality and choreography. more from Lucy Bailey please!

MAON is a great play but when you leads like this, with so much sensational use of intonation, pause, facial expression, body language and out-on-a-limb direction, you have a winner. Thoroughly good entertainment for anyone over 12.

Excellent performances by all the cast. The bards Witt at it's best. A must see show.

A very clever reinvention of this well - known play . The setting in 1920’s Italy was ingenious, as was the direction and stagecraft . Excellent use of music too !
The only slight regret , sitting to the extreme left of the stage , was that the actors usually had their backs to us for a good proportion of the action .

I attended the performance with my friend, and we both received a boost of positivity! Thank you all who created, performed and organised the event! The theatre has a marvellous location; so during the interval, we enjoyed the view on Thames.

Great performance and incredibly funny. The choreography and comedic timing was excellent. Despite two actors being cast at last minute they were brilliant.

One of the best Benedict - Beatrice combinations I've seen.
The whole production was a delight from start to finish.
Good work Dogberry!

Excellent acting and staging. Great atmosphere inside the theatre. However, we had 2 people reading scripts because of sickness including Benedick. He was wonderful but why weren’t there official understudies? Acoustics aren’t great - couldn’t hear a fair bit of it.

Having never seen a show at the globe before, I wasn't sure what to expect. But I can tell you that it far surpassed any expectations I could have ever held. It was funny, whitty, fun, and the audience participation was fantastic. I stood there, whilst booing the main baddy, knowing full well this has been done for hundreds of years, and hope it shall endure. An experience I hope to repeat again and again.

I did realise when I booked that we were in restricted view seats, but I did not find put until the night what a huge impact this would have on our enjoyment of the play.
Unfortunately we missed a lot of the action because of a massive pillar on the stage. Also, the cast seemed to direct most of their output towards the front, front left and right of the stage. If you were seated behind them, as we were , for most of the action, it was actually hard to even understand the words.
Also, having an actor acting with a script in his hand made it feel a bit like AmDram, especially as he was not in 40's clothes like the rest, but in jeans, etc.

Loved the play and the accordion music. Didn’t love the pillar in the way of our £35 seats (A4 and5) and my partner had trouble hearing ( he’s slightly deaf)
Still recommend it as a fun piece of theatre.

Brilliant cast. My family and I had so much fun! And members of the audience around the globe could not control their laughter. I would never have thought I could enjoy a show standing in the rain for 2.5-3 hours!

This production was an absolute joy, funny, heart rending, uplifting…just delightful. I have seen this well loved play performed on several occasions, and this is my favourite ever rendition. The set was simple, yet highly effective and the acting just superb. If you are vacillating, just book tickets. You will not be disappointed.

I thoroughly enjoyed the production of Much Ado about Nothing at The Globe theatre. It was witty, playful with good audience participation. I enjoyed the flavour of 1940s Italy and costumes and makeup were spot on. The characters were well defined and well cast - loved Benedict and Beatrice who were well supported by a strong cast of actors. Volume was good in spite of noise from aircraft. Loads of energy - best thing I have seen in years!

Loved this production. It’s not one of my favourite Shakespeare comedies and not an easy one to stage, I can imagine. But this one was lucid, lively and beautifully varied, providing moments for deeper reflection amid the energetic forward ‘thrust’ of the play. Well worth a London visit from the shires.

We loved the production, very lively and lots of music and dancing. Once or twice was a bit difficult to hear the lines as the music was still playing in the background but overall it really contributed to the ambience.

Fabulous production and so very funny. Brilliant acting and excellent ad libs in parts. Would highly recommend and suitable for children as an intro to Shakespeare.

What a fabulous show!
The Globe was a stunning backdrop and loved the depth of scenery and that action was spread across so much of the stage, and among the grounding.
Probably best production of Much... that I've seen!

This production of Much Ado was fantastic. It had everything, humour, music and dancing and a serious side too. The actors were superb and I loved the Italian garden setting. This was my A level text and I so enjoyed listening to the lines and remembering the quotes. The acting was so good that they bought the text to life. All the actors were so good but the actor who played the inept policeman Dogberry was hilarious and stole the show. I would thoroughly recommend this production!

Ok we were lucky with the weather .. arrived in temperate sun took our place in the yard and waited . Having seen productions of Much Ado we were initially thrown by the gender role reversal of Leonata/o. and Antonia /o but it was inspired .. the setting in post war Italy likewise … the set, costumes and the cast just rolled you along on a wave of joy and fun .. the serious passages had gravitas as it switched effortlessly from rollicking verbal and physical humour to intense soul searching . Simply the best production of Much Ado we’ve ever seen . You will leave on a high , don’t miss it . Thankyou Globe .
