Rehearsal images have been released for the Old Vic Theatre's new production of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard which returns to The Old Vic in a 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.

 

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead runs at the Old Vic from 25 February 2017.
