“Beatrices lack of seriousness reveals to the audience that it is not merely a way she presents herself, but a shield in which she uses to protect herself.  Being able to see her facial expressions and movements made me understand what she was truly feeling in a moment, even when her words said otherwise.” - Eveline C

"The performance enhanced my view of Claudio and Hero’s relationship by highlighting their natural chemistry with one another, and despite their limited number of on-stage appearances. This made the malign deception feel much more impactful and realistic than it seemed just by reading the play, as it seems more like two people who knew each other well, as opposed to their slightly less believable relationship in the script." - Oliver R

"The actor’s portrayal of Benedick also allowed more of a ‘connection’ between him and Beatrice, which was harder to imagine whilst reading the play. Their many remarks at each other were delivered in a way that was clear and enjoyable, and allowed the audience to really see the dynamic between the pair. It created tones that made the situation have what seemed to be ‘higher stakes’, and the slight use of audience involvement resulted in becoming more invested in the plotline, as well as enhancing my impression of the characters, and my views on the themes of the play." - Orianna S

"In summary, seeing the play 'Much Ado About Nothing' has helped deepen my understanding of the themes of the play and how characters are portrayed and used by Shakespeare." - Elle N
