Much Ado About Nothing RSC
på Theatre Royal Haymarket
‘Sigh no more, ladies - men were deceivers ever.’ Autumn 1918. A group of soldiers return from the trenches. The world-weary Benedick and his friend Claudio find themselves reacquainted with Beatrice and Hero.
As memories of conflict give way to a life of parties and masked balls, Claudio and Hero fall madly, deeply in love, while Benedick and Beatrice reignite their own altogether more combative courtship.
Shakespeare’s comic romance plays out amidst the brittle high spirits of a post-war house party, as youthful passions run riot, lovers are deceived and happiness is threatened – before peace ultimately wins out.
One of the most popular comedies in the English language, Much Ado About Nothing was possibly known in Shakespeare’s lifetime as Love’s Labour’s Won. Following a 2014 run in Stratford-upon-Avon and a subsequent in Chichester, the RSC Chichester Festival Theatre productions of the heart-warming double bill Love’s Labour’s Lost and Much Ado About Nothing (or Love's Labour's Won) will transfer to the Theatre Royal Haymarket for a limited season.

Vis kort
Much Ado About Nothing er som teaterstykke lidt svært at sætte i bås, fordi det simpelthen har det hele: Dramatik, komik, musik, alvorlig tale, vildt fjolleri, gnistrende dialog, you name it, it has it. Kort sagt, ægte Shakespeare, og vel at mærke, Shakespeare for os alle sammen. Ikke så sublimt som En Skærsommernatsdrøm, men fint som decemberhygge, og helt perfekt til det intime lille teater Royal Haymarket. Det var det pæne borgerskab, der var mødt op, og man følte sig som udlænding næsten helt engelsk og del af en stor familie. Og så skuespillerne: Som altid i engelsk teater var de top professionelle og utrolig veloplagte. Der går fem minutter, og så er man fuldstændig opslugt af det utrolige liv, som udfolder sig på scenen. Som dansker forstår man nok ikke det altsammen, men dog rigeligt til at man får en fin oplevelse.
