I enjoyed GRADS production of Rosencrantz and Guilderstern are Dead last night at the New Fortune.

https://www.grads.org.au/events/rosencrantz-and-guildenstern-are-dead

Solid work and very entertaining.

Super energetic performance from Alex Comstock who played Rosencrantz and Thomas Dimmik who was Guilderstern.

Stoppard's witty bantering lines are always a hoot in this one. And be sure to look out for Jeff Watkins and the intensely intriguing master of the Players.

Great show!

The idea of God is slightly more plausible than the alternative proposition that, given enough time, some green slime could write Shakespeare's sonnets.

Tom Stoppard meets Star Trek

Würde wahnsinnig gerne in diesem Leben einmal »Travesties« (1974) von #TomStoppard sehen. Egal ob live oder Konserve. Soweit ich weiß, ist aber nie eine Aufführung aufgezeichnet oder für’s TV inszeniert worden.

Ich hoffe ja schwer, dass ›National Theatre Live‹ da mal eine bringt. »Hard Problem«, »Rosenkrantz & Güldenstern« und »Leopoldstadt« gab’s in den letzten Jahren schon.

The truth is always a compound of two half-truths, and you never reach it, because there is always something more to say.
