National Theatre Live: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (2017)

6.3/10 169 min Comedy Drama

Overview

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.
