'O, that I were a man'' | Act IV, scene 1 | Much Ado About Nothing (2024) | Shakespeare's Globe

‘O God, that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the marketplace.’
It’s the wedding day of young lovers Claudio and Hero. But before they say ‘I do’, Claudio vehemently - and falsely - accuses Hero of infidelity and leaves her at the altar. Hero’s cousin, Beatrice (Amalia Vitale), appalled by her cousin’s treatment, is furious that she cannot bring justice on Hero’s accusers.
Associate Artistic Director Sean Holmes’s ‘irresistible’ ★★★★★ (WhatsOnStage) production is a ‘sparkling, sun-drenched spectacle’ ★★★★ (Time Out) in the Globe Theatre.
Much Ado About Nothing plays until 24 August, as part of our Summer 2024 season: bit.ly/MuchAdo...

The cheer that erupted from the audience for the "I would eat his heart in the marketplace" line was incredible!

[@jessicadavis4541]

I saw this live! She did an incredible job! This speech was insane to watch, I was ready to go down to the market place with her!

[@barbaramccoy3592]

That speech always gets me - and I note the touch of the "B" necklace as part of the beautiful costume.

I've seen this play twice already. I absolutely loved it both times, and the cast was absolutely brilliant! This is probably my favourite Shakespeare play. Absolutely loved this cast, especially Beatrice!
