As with all of Wayne McGregor’s new works, DEEPSTARIA has been a hotly awaited dance piece with its much vaunted dark voids and mysterious spaces igniting an anticipatory buzz and collective salivation among dance aficionados.

A confectioner’s deluge of pink ticker-tape, drifts slowly from high above Drury Lane’s stage, as disco tracks and rumbustious tomfoolery play-out below. It is undoubtedly what Shakespeare himself would have wanted and after a couple of less-than-loved-Lloyds, wonder boy director Jamie is back in his groove, wowing the masses with his accessible versions of the classics. Here, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING succumbs with minimal resistance to his magical makeover.
