About National Theatre Live: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead
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.
Directed by Tim Van Someren, National Theatre Live: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead leans on a strong ensemble — Daniel Radcliffe, Joshua McGuire, David Haig — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2017.
