Much Ado About Nothing

by William Shakespeare // New English Shakespeare Company // Dubai Opera House

★★★★★

“Nothing short of phenomenal… Award-wining British director Derek Bond’s hilarious take on this classic story… It’s not always easy to think of William Shakespeare beyond the context of a school classroom, which can be a little off-putting to say the least, but this show-stopping production of Much Ado About Nothing blew us – and all thoughts of dusty textbooks – away.”
