Kenneth Branagh's much praised adaptation of HENRY V revolutionised Shakespeare in the cinema, giving a new youthful and contemporary energy to a well-known play and bringing it to a vast audience around the world. He has now directed and adapted MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, with a starry international cast that includes Denzil Washington, Emma Thompson, Michael 'Batman' Keaton, Ben Elton, Keanu Reaves as Don John, and of course Kenneth Branagh himself as Benedick. Lavishly illustrated with stills from the film, and with a foreword about the film and screenplay by Kenneth Branagh, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING will bring exciting new dimensions to one of Shakespeare's most mature and sophisticated comedies, and serve as a lasting souvenir of the film.
