‘Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps’

It’s all kicking off in Messina.

The winners are back from the action and a celebrity wedding is on the cards. But not everyone wants the big day to go off without a hitch. Meanwhile, will an assist from the team mates mean old rivals Beatrice and Benedick finally manage to score themselves?

Michael Longhurst, fresh from his tenure as Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse (Next To Normal, The Band’s Visit, Constellations) directs Freema Agyeman (RSC Twelfth Night, Doctor Who) and Nick Blood (Day of the Jackal, Slow Horses, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D) as Beatrice and Benedick in Shakespeare’s original rom-com set in the world of top-flight football and celebrity culture, where scandal-filled rivalries are the hottest new thing and lads and WAGs collide.
