FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Much Ado About Nothing

Jamie Lloyd’s Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell-starring take on ‘Much Ado’ is a ridiculous, ecstatic, hilarious masterpiece
10 / 10

There are those who have become cynical about Lloyd ever since his career went into overdrive with his smash 2023 revival of Sunset Boulevard. And to be fair, those that moaned about the casting of Sigourney Weaver in The Tempest – which preceded Much Ado at Drury Lane, and shares much of the same cast – were basically right, though one celebrity miscasting hardly ruins a career. But accusations that he relies too much on live video (he’s used it in two shows), the same monochrome palette (okay, there has been a lot of black) and relentless tasteful moodiness are all but trolled by this none-more-pink symphony of a production, that totally abandons conventional cool in favour of Tom Hiddleston’s dad dancing.

Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell are gloriously giddy bliss in Much Ado About Nothing
10 / 10

Blissfully, the cameras and mike stands have gone. The chairs, though, have been unleashed to live their best lives in the numerous giddy song and dance scenes the punctuate this frothy confection of courtly shenanigans. As did every soul in the theatre, who audibly had a blast throughout and thundered to their feet for the jubilant ovation/curtain call boogie.

Interview: 'It's Just Camp At Its Highest Form!': Actor Mason Alexander Park on MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
by Kat Mokrynski - March 6, 2025


Recently, we had the chance to speak with Park about their experiences over the past few months in the two plays. We discussed what it has been like working in London for the first time, working on two shows at once and even why they think Shakespeare is still popular, centuries after his death.

Review: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, Theatre Royal Drury Lane
by Aliya Al-Hassan - February 20, 2025


After a rather muted reception of The Tempest, fans of director Jamie Lloyd’s work can breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that he has discovered both fun and colour in this brilliant and bold version of Much Ado About Nothing starring Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell.
