Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
Forty years after Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead made Tom Stoppard's name overnight, Matthew Sweet and guests explore its origins and legacy with those that have been involved in bringing it to the stage, including the director of the very first production, Derek Goldby.
Staged at the Edinburgh Festival when the playwright was an unknown 29 year old, the play is famously set simply 'within and around the action of Hamlet' and has since been widely admired for its verbal wit and dramatic ingenuity, becoming a contemporary classic of British theatre.
