My visit to the ARC in
Stockton was rewarded with an excellent performance of “Rosencrantz &
Gildenstern are Dead” streamed live from the Old Vic (where it was premiered
fifty years ago) with Daniel Radcliffe and Joshua McGuire in the eponymous
roles, and they made a very good partnership batting (literally at one point)
lines to and fro as they, exasperated and puzzled, tried to make sense of their
bit parts in Hamlet, delivering Tom Stoppard’s verbal acrobatics with consummate
skill – but they were at least matched by David Haig as The Player whose
appearances on stage brought light, colour and some killer lines.
