Valtemand and Cornelius Are Not Well at All

Synopsis: Radio playwright Alick Rowe’s take on Hamlet which, as the title suggests, pays homage to Tom Stoppard’s stage play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. According to Radio Times programme notes, this is "Hamlet as seen by Shakespeare, as seen by the players, as seen by comedy writer Alick Rowe. The players want to finish their act as quickly as possible, but first they are unwilling witnesses to Polonius’s death and get caught up in the ensuing mayhem. As for Hamlet, he keeps talking to himself" (3-9 June 1995, p. 105).
