Daniel Radcliffe returns to London stage in 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead'
Daniel Radcliffe will make his London West End return in the 50th anniversary stage production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, where the actor will take on the part of Rosencrantz. He will reunite with former A Young Doctor's Notebook costar Joshua McGuire, who will portray Guildenstern in the story based off of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
The play will run at the Old Vic in London from February 25 – April 29, 2017; tickets are already available for purchase here.
Directed by David Leveaux
Starring Daniel Radcliffe and Joshua McGuire
Half a century after its premiere on The Old Vic stage, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, the play that made a young Tom Stoppard’s name overnight, returns to The Old Vic in its 50th anniversary celebratory production.
Against the backdrop of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, this mind-bending situation comedy sees two hapless minor characters, Rosencrantz (Daniel Radcliffe) and Guildenstern (Joshua McGuire), take centre stage. Increasingly out of their depth, the young double act stumble their way in and out of the action of this iconic drama. In a literary hall of mirrors, Stoppard’s brilliantly funny, existential labyrinth sees us witness the ultimate identity crisis.
Fun fact: Dan's former Harry Potter costar Gary Oldman (Sirius Black) starred in the film adaptation of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, incidentally playing Rosencrantz as well.
For those wondering where Dan's been lately, the actor has been promoting the releases of both Swiss Army Man and Imperium across Europe, including in London and at the Zurich Film Festival. A few video interview highlights can be watched below.
