Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds)
Back to Show Details| Score | Comment | Date |
 | A very funny production of an excellent play; the staging suits the words and (lack of) action very well, and the two actors playing R + G contrast very nicely in the way one questions continuously and the other just accepts what's going on. This is well worth the petrol money! - USER: Whatsonstage.com | 07 Oct 02 |
| Sadly Rosencrantz and Guildenstern has not stood the passage of time too well; in particular, with every viewing, its dependence on Waiting for Godot becomes ever more obvious, as does the fact that there's an extra 20 minutes or so in the play that no one really needs. The serviceable and frequently amusing Leeds production, full of amiable performances, does not have the bite or (in the case of the Player) the bravura to make the years fall away. - USER: Whatsonstage.com | 05 Oct 02 |
