A short, blunt human pyramid

Quite a few people I know seem to have been to see Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead on Saturday. It's the third timed I've seen it (now twice as a play and once as a film) and it's as engaging as ever. James Wallace in particular made a great, Blackadderish Guildenstern.

This staging tended to use sound hints that we were briefly in a bit of Hamlet - when in fact the language is a good enough hint as it is. A cute device, certainly, but it felt somewhat at odds with the minimality of the rest of the production to me.

One thing I wondered, is the “no grunting” from the Question Tennis in the original script, or is it a post-Seles interpolation?
