London Last Night: Much Ado About Nothing Press Night


The Event: Much Ado About Nothing Press Night

The Venue: The Wyndham Theatre, Leicester Square, London

The VIPs: David Tennant and Catherine Tate (above)

The Gossip:
1) Catherine Tate and David Tennant sure made a scene at a private press performance of their latest playhouse adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing last night.

2) The numero uno try of the flick starred Richard Gere and Debra Winger who David and Catherine seek to star as in the now stagey style where Tennant shared “For me, the thinking was "I'd like to do a play; I'd like to do Much Ado About Nothing; and it just so happens that the perfect Beatrice in my head is Catherine”

3) In a recent Q&A Tate expressed “Benedick and Beatrice are similar to the Doctor and Donna in some ways, there's a lot of sparring, but this is a romantic relationship, which was never the case in Doctor Who. Of course, there's a natural desire to see that energy between us being recreated. I trust people have more sense than to assume it will be the same.”
