Sharp tongues and savage gossip fuel a messy, magnetic attraction in this new production of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing in the Globe Theatre. 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. Set in a sun-soaked world of style and status, where image is everything and late-night parties blur into dawn, Chelsea Walker's (All's Well That Ends Well, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Globe) Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare's most incisive romantic comedies. An unfiltered look at bad behaviour, second chances, and recovering from old wounds.

The award-winning musical that tells the electrifying story of the night in 1956 when Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis came together to make music and ended up making history. It is inspired by the actual event that took place on 4 December 1956 at Sun Records in Memphis and features over 20 of the greatest rock 'n' roll, gospel, R&B and country hits ever written including: Blue Suede Shoes, I Walk The Line, Fever, Great Balls of Fire, Hound Dog, Folsom Prison Blues and Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On. The legendary meeting was masterminded by Sun Records' founder Sam Phillips, who discovered all four of the musicians, and brought Elvis Presley (and his then girlfriend) back to the recording studio that launched him to stardom. Together with Sun Records' fast-rising new superstar Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins, who was still chasing his next big hit after writing and recording Blue Suede Shoes, the fourth member of this impromptu "quartet" was Phillips' latest signing, Jerry Lee Lewis. Million Dollar Quartet is a story of fame, friendship, discovery, divided loyalties, professional jealousy and incredible music as four of the music industry's most extraordinary talents, all in their creative prime, made music together for the first and only time in their careers.
