Much Ado about Numbers began as a book by Rob Eastaway, inspired by a trip to a teacher conference in Stratford-upon-Avon in 2022. He has since developed into a series of interactive shows for schools and the general public.  Since 2024 Rob has given Much Ado talks to nearly 3,000 adults and 20,000 teenagers across the UK. He has also spoken at conferences for the Historical Association and the Bell-Shakespeare Company.
