Now that Tom Stoppard is 70, BBC Radio has been having something of a Stoppardfest. Listening to Pick of the Week while I was cooking this evening I heard part of their broadcast of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. Ah me, I saw the original production at the Old Vic and still have the programme.

I've seen R&G are Dead twice - once in Newcastle, possibly the RSC, and I loved it, laughed lots, and when I saw it was being produced at the West Yorkshire Playhouse booked tickets immediately. It was awful, slow and not at all funny, we left at the interval (and that's not something I do often, once I've paid for my ticket I want to get my money's worth, even if it's only a comfy seat to snooze in....)
