I'm amazed. I expect she does poignant well but she mumbles..in my experience. Has she played it before in her yoof?

I'm a bit sick of Much Ado to be honest. I was happy with the Tennant/Tate version for a few years. This one looks somewhat miscast. If Rylance was acting in it on the other hand...
