Much Ado About Nothing London tickets

Sharp tongues and savage gossip fuel a messy, magnetic attraction in this new production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Playing at Shakespeare’s Globe for a strictly limited run, book your official tickets today.

What is Much Ado About Nothing about?

One of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies, the play revolves around two pairs of lovers: the witty and sharp-tongued Beatrice and Benedick, who engage in a "merry war" of words, and the young, romantic couple Claudio and Hero. However, when a cruel prank backfires and the four lovers are thrown into disarray, will their relationships weather the storm?

Exploring themes of love, honour, and misunderstandings, Much Ado About Nothing is the blueprint for the modern rom-com. A heartwarming celebration of love and redemption, it may be 400 years old, but audiences' love for the classic comedy is still as strong as ever.
