Against the backdrop of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, this mind-bending situation comedy sees two hapless minor characters, Rosencrantz (Daniel Radcliffe) and Guildenstern (Joshua McGuire), take centre stage with David Haig as The Player. Increasingly out of their depth, the young double act stumble their way in and out of the action of this iconic drama. In a literary hall of mirrors, Stoppard’s brilliantly funny, existential labyrinth sees us witness the ultimate identity crisis. Directed by David Leveaux.

Stellar production of one of my favourite plays. I thought my seat in the upper circle would be terrible but I had a fantastic view! Couldn't be happier.

interesting revival of an old play held my attention and the time passed far to quickly

Sharron Spain

Amazing play. To be honest, the pace was so quick it was hard for me to keep up, not knowing an awful lot of about the play beforehand, but the quality and sheer genius of the acting was awe inspiring. The production was excellent and we had a lovely afternoon. A credit to all involved :-)

The show was nothing short of brilliant in every respect Absolutely not to be missed. Needs a longer run!!

Richard van den Bergh

A superbly crafted play which has lost nothing in its 50 years. Josh McGuire and David Haig are truly excellent

Ms Jeanne Short

A great production and wonderful acting performances by the 3 lead characters. The play itself is not my favourite Stoppard and starts rather slowly but it becomes absorbing and despite being rather cerebral, has its share of comic moments.

Susanna Bishop

Great show, shame about the chaotic box office pick up of tickets.

Colin Hall

This was a theatrical experience for the benefit of those in it and their groupies.

Clare Carr-Locke

Some parts are amusing but you need to know Hamlet to understand it. Strong performances from Joshua McGuire and David Hague but Daniel Radcliffe was less inspiring but so is his character in this play. An enjoyable performance.

John

Brilliant play; excellently acted; greatly appreciated by audience

Nan

Excellent acting. But we were in row D with a very bright light shining straight in our eyes.... very uncomfortable!

Linda Gilardoni

I was too tired to appreciate it fully
