Much Ado About Nothing - David Tennant Monologue - Digital Theatre

David Tennant and Catherine Tate appear together on stage for the first time in William Shakespeare's timeless comedy Much Ado About Nothing. In this exclusive scene see David Tennant as Benedick deliver his Act 2, Scene 1 monlogue.
Two young lovers, Claudio and Hero, are to be married imminently but the devious scheming of a resentful Prince looks set to thwart the nuptials. Meanwhile, marriage seems inconceivable for reluctant lovers Beatrice and Benedick whose endless witty sparring threatens to keep them apart forever.
Directed by Josie Rourke, Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse, Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare's great plays and reminds us all of the failings and triumphs of the human condition in our never ending search for perfect love.

Wish this was out on dvd. :)

[@TheGothprincess2]

I have seen the whole play of this and I like it,It's really funny and David Tennant is really great.I also like him in Hamlet and Doctor Who.

[@sebastiandoesthings1165]

Actually, Tennant's character's name is Benedick, not Benedict; assuming that there is a consistency in the majority of Shakespearean depictions, as when I did this show, the name was Benedick.

Perfection even in a skirt and ripped leggings. Plus, eighties sunglasses. ;)

[@flanplan5903]

Well, this production is set in the 80's, so....yeah.

[@rabbit101]

I would probably have actually enjoyed having to study Much Ado About Nothing English Lit if this version of the play had been done then!

[@darkstar1598]

rabbit101: We learnt this version for our English lesson and it was great!

[@Concetta20]

That’s cause Shakespeare’s meant to be seen, not read!

Alas, poor hurt fowl! now will he creep into sedges. But that my Lady Beatrice should know me, and not know me! The prince's fool! Ha? It may be I go under that title because I am merry. Yea, but so I am apt to do myself wrong; I am not so reputed: it is the base, though bitter, disposition of Beatrice that puts the world into her person and so gives me out. Well, I'll be revenged as I may.

[@emptyvoices31]

Is this taking place in a drug commune in the Haight? Or do you need drugs to watch it? Either way sounds like a grand time. I'll have to find a torrent. I would love to see him in The Taming of the Shrew.

What is Much Ado really about? Social drama? Love and friendship? This video does a great breakdown of the themes of the play: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enqqqWVtZqmHsM0
