Much Ado About Pirates

I’ve been asked by friends to name the stars who would be my wish list dream team casting for the lead roles of my reworking of ‘Much Ado’. I’d have to say that Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp would be two of my favourites for the parts of Beatrice and Benedick. This is not just because of their success in Pirates of the Caribbean and the sparks that fly when they are on screen together, but because one of my versions of ‘Much Ado’ would ideally be set in the Spanish Caribbean between 1680 and 1730.
