Much Ado About Nothing will be screened as part of "Globe on Screen", a selection of filmed plays from the Globe. It will be shown in cinemas in the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand from late September. Click here for venues and dates.
An article from Filmoria has some reflections from Charles, Matthew Pidgeon and Jeremy Herrin about the technicalities involved in the filming.

Tickets for This House have sold out. The National Theatre has advised that some tickets may become available closer to the performance dates; this page has further information.

Charles will no longer be doing Utopia, due to a scheduling conflict (his Twitter, @CEdwardsActor).
