A lengthy review of Mr Montgomery's performance in the role of Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing. The reviewer considers Mr Montgomery to be one who has a deep knowledge of Shakespeare and is able to bring to light 'hidden beauties contained in the writings of the poet'. Montgomery's representation differs from conventional portrayals in a way which the reviewer considers both scholarly and artistic.
