Full casting and creative team has now been announced for Shakespeare’s Globe’s upcoming revival of Shakespeare’s play.

The war is over, but the battle for love is just beginning. Beatrice has sworn off men, but there’s something about Benedick she just can’t leave alone.
Meanwhile, beneath Messina’s polished surface, secrets slip, gossip runs wild and reputations hang by a thread. Everyone’s saving face – and nobody’s doing it very well.
Meanwhile, the creative team behind the production includes: assistant director Charlotte Vickers, composer Angus MacRae, designer Sami Fendall, costume supervisor Jackie Orton, fight director Kev McCurdy, intimacy director Lucy Fennell, movement director Aline David and wellbeing lead Brenda Moore-Waite. Voice and text are by Annemette Verspeak and casting is by Becky Paris, head of casting at Shakespeare’s Globe.
