Theatrical Frustrations

From arriving at the theatre to taking your seats, members of the audience to ordering those interval drinks and everything in-between the theatrical experience can sometimes be an interesting one. Join us as we discuss the things that frustrate our panel about attending a theatrical production, amusing anecdotes, and how we think things can change for the better.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
Artform are thrilled to welcome another company to chat about their next production. This time we delve into Tom Stoppard’s absurdist, existential tragicomedy which is being performed at the Edward Alderton Theatre. We are joined by the director alongside cast members and Shakespeare fans who delve into the untold story of these minor characters from Hamlet. With echoes of Waiting for Godot, intermixing of reality and illusion this incredibly funny and yet poignant piece is a must see for any theatrical fan.
