Shakespeare's Globe Theatre: 'Much Ado About Nothing'
Details
Come along on Saturday 3rd October to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre to see an afternoon production of one of William Shakespeare's best comedies: 'Much Ado About Nothing'.
About the play
‘Therein do men from children nothing differ.’
Count Claudio falls in love with Hero, the daughter of his host. Hero's cousin Beatrice (a confirmed spinster) and Benedict (an eternal bachelor) are each duped into believing the other is in love with them. Claudio is deceived by a malicious plot and denounces Hero as unchaste before they marry. She faints and is believed dead, but recovers to be proved innocent by a chance discovery. Benedict wins Beatrice’s love defending her cousin’s honour, and to his surprise, Claudio is reunited with Hero, who he believed dead.
The play was written in around 1598/1599. You can read the summary here.
Tickets
Tickets are £5-£10 each for standing and from £25 upwards for seating.
If you buy a seating ticket, its advisable to either bring a cushion or hire one at the Globe, as the seats are quite hard.
Then:
- Scroll down and on the left hand side, chose either your seat or standing option
- Click 'Add to Basket' and pay
If tickets sell out online, you can get one on the day by queuing outside the main entrance for returns at 6pm.
About the Globe
The Globe has no roof to protect the standing tickets in the yard, if it rains you will get wet.
The play starts at 7:30pm and lasts 2 hours and 30 mins with an interval.
