This has to be one of the most imaginative interpretations of this often maligned comedy by the bard. I have seen many productions during many years of theatre going but this was, by far and away, the most enjoyable. I was with my partner for whom this was a first Shakespeare.I am delighted to say that he is now eagerly awaiting the next one! The whole cast deserve the highest praise. If I were to single out individuals it would have to be Tom Batemans' Claudio and Andy James' Don Pedro. Also I would like to mention Kathryn Hunt. I have always admired this actors' work and she did not disappoint-great work! Finally, the two leads.David Tennants' comic timing is just superb and his connection with the audience is amazing. Long admired his work in all it's forms but he definitely excels on stage with a live audience. Catherine Tate is a perfect foil and the empathy between her and David Tennant is tangible. T'n'T - pure dynamite!!! A total joy of a production.

Sorry Adam! My partner had to type the review for me as I can't always use my hands and he made a mistake with your name. Our apologies.

The two nights before this performance, David was too ill to perform, but you would not have been able to tell by his performance tonight. Was pleasantly surprised by the very creative on stage directing, it left me in tears of laughter at points! The whole cast was brilliant, now in their last few shows, and left me with a buzz after it ended. Wish I could go again.

Went to see it last night (Thurs 26 May) ... what a great show ... brilliantly cast, great acting, clever use of space and set and David and Catherine at their comedy best! Well worth going to see if you are a fan of both of them ... modern twist kept it fun and modern ... its was very funny and most enjoyable.

my daughter & I went to see this new production of Shakespeares comedy & it far exceeded my expectations. . it was absolutely brilliant. David tenant was quite outstanding as was Catherine Tate & the entire cast. I don't normally like any play that is set in a different period than the author intended but I absolutely loved the fact that this was set in the 1980's in Gibraltar. The costumes, music & dancing were so of the period It made me a touch nostalgic for my youth which seems almost an impossible achievement for a play written so long ago. I cannot recommend this production enough . . it's a brilliant night out !! It's the first time I've been to a play that has received a standing ovation with the entire house on it's feet. if you see nothing else all year . . see this

I saw the matinee performance on Saturday 28th May with my friend. It was excellent. David Tennant was amazing, really funny. Both him and Catherine Tate are brilliant actors and you could see how much fun they were having, as well as the audience. I wasn't sure at first about the modern dress, but it did work. This is the best version I have seen. We sat in the 3rd row of the stalls and had an excellent view, and could hear everything. If I had the money, I would definitely see it again. The best scene was when they were evesdropping on the conversations they were supposed to hear. I'm very surprised at some of the comments made that they didn't enjoy it, they certainly didn't go on the same day I did. I would like to point out that in Shakespeare's day the audience got involved, the actors interacted with them, and there was slapstick and playing for a laugh. If you haven't yet got a ticket for this play, I would suggest getting one now, you will not be disappointed!
