REVIEWS ROUND-UP
“Good as they are, both Best and Edwards lapse into the self-indulgence that seems inherent at the Globe”.
“There are flaws... but where it matters most – in the wit, wounded feelings and final happiness of Beatrice and Benedick – this production soars.”
“It's a witty, warm-hearted and emotionally eloquent account of the play that makes the most of the Globe's matchless capacity for a buoyant rapport with the audience.”
