Frantic Assembly today announced the full cast for their touring production of Abi Morgan's new play LOVESONG.

Josie Rourke's production of William Shakespeare's timeless comedy Much Ado About Nothing starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate will complete its run at the Wyndham's Theatre on 3 September 2011, as previously scheduled. Breaking all Wyndham's Box Office records, Much Ado About Nothing has sold out its entire run and recouped within a few weeks of opening.

According to a report by the Telegraph, West End ticket sales have increased two percent compared to this time last summer. Overall, audiences for West End plays are up 13 percent compared to last year, most likely due to the incredible star-power featured on stage, including: Kevin Spacey, Rupert Everett, Kara Tointon, James Corden, David Tennant, Catherine Tate and many more.

Forty years on, West takes the lead in this razor sharp and darkly comic assault on the soft underbelly of academia.
