Who Played Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing

Benedick is a role in Much Ado About Nothing, a play that opened West End in 2012.

This vibrant and colourful production transposes Shakespeare’s vivacious, and at times unsettling, comedy of love and deceit to an Indian setting. Much Ado About Nothing is directed by Iqbal Khan whose credits include Broken Glass (Tricycle Theatre, 2011) and The Killing of Sister George (Arts Theatre, 2011). Actress, comedienne, writer and singer, Meera Syal, will play Beatrice opposite Paul Bhattacharjee as Benedick.

13 actors have played Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing.
