This glorious comedy explores the combat of love between Beatrice, Benedick, Hero and Claudio. It was delivered with honesty, quick-wittedness and was, by turns, hilarious and harrowing. This was Shakespeare’s tragi-comedy at it enchanting best, in a production that balanced the elements, discovering the inner heart.
