Much Ado About Nothing (2008) Playing Shakespeare

Kirsty Besterman as Beatrice with Bill Buckhurst as Benedick.

Much Ado About Nothing is about males and females and the different ways males and females handle things. It's about belonging to a peer group and the things you do to stay in it and the times you know when you have to break away from it, and about feeling outcast from that group and how you handle that. it's about friendship and trust and love. It's about being real and not real, there's so much when people aren't being true to themselves. The times when they are really shine through.
