Much Ado About Nothing
by William Shakespeare

directed by Simon Godwin

Broadcast live from the National Theatre in London

Shakespeare’s well-loved romcom of sun, sea and mistaken identity, with a cast including Katherine
Parkinson (The IT Crowd).

The legendary family-run Hotel Messina on the Italian Riveria has been visited by artists, celebrities and royalty. But
when the owner’s daughter weds a dashing young soldier, not all guests are in the mood for love.
A string of scandalous deceptions soon surround not only the young couple, but also the adamantly single Beatrice and
Benedick.

Following the award-winning success of National Theatre Live’s Romeo & Juliet, Twelfth Night and Antony and
Cleopatra, director Simon Godwin returns with this irresistible comedy, broadcast live from the National Theatre
stage.
