Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter, The Woman in Black),
Joshua McGuire (The Hour) and David Haig (Four Weddings and a Funeral,The
Witness for the Prosecution) star in Tom Stoppard’s brilliantly funny situation
comedy, broadcast live from The Old Vic theatre in London.
David Leveaux’s new production marks the 50th anniversary of
the play that made a young Tom Stoppard’s name overnight.
Against the backdrop of Hamlet, two hapless minor
characters, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, take centre stage. As the young
double act stumble their way in and out of the action of Shakespeare’s iconic
drama, they become increasingly out of their depth as their version of the
story unfolds.
