The first and last word on this RSC production has to be on its dazzling design. Set in a high-concept Messina inspired by Afrofuturism and sci-fi, it comes with a wardrobe and stage set that will have any audience member’s eyes on stalks.
There are gold fountains, silver frocks and stupendous white afros. Each costume and set change outdoes the one before it. It is what you might expect if Baz Luhrmann adapted Much Ado About Nothing into a lavish theatrical romcom.
