James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave play warring lovers Benedick and Beatrice in Shakespeare's timeless comedy Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Mark Rylance.
While young lovers Claudio and Hero have their forthcoming nuptials threatened by the resentful scheming of a Prince, marriage seems out of the question for reluctant lovers Beatrice and Benedick in this witty comedy about the never ending search for perfect love.
James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave, who recently starred in Driving Miss Daisy both in the West End and on Broadway, reunite on The Old Vic stage to play these iconic roles for the first time.
Mark Rylance was Artistic Director of Shakespeare's Globe for 10 years, during this time he directed and performed in numerous productions. His recent acting credits include Richard III and Twelfth Night (Shakespeare's Globe and West End) and the critically acclaimed Jerusalem.

[@fabiogaucho77]

Those are not just words. When I see him playing Henry V or Richard II I *do* get the feeling I am seeing the play for the first time. I would love to see access to him playing Hamlet. Did he ever do Lear?
