brow was the Lighting director at the Old Vic.
The play was put into the season at the last
minute. Pilbrow says, "The story of Rosencrantz
and Guildenstem is very complex. As I recall
they were going to do an all-male version of As
YOll Like It. The board decided it was too controversial and canceled it. They had to put up a
play in a slot in five weeks and Ken Tynan has
this play by a new playwright, Rosencrantz

and Guildenstern are Dead."
Pilbrow continues, "It is hard to beUeve now because the play is world famous,
but at the time no one knew what the hell it
was about." All of the associate directors at
the ational Theatre turned down the opportunity to direct the script. Pilbrow says,
"They decided to give the shoe to a young
assistant director named Derek Goldby. I
think before that it was his job to get the tea.
This was his first job at the National."
Goldby asked Pilbrow to Light the show and
Desmond Heeley to design the scenery.
"We only had one production meeting, as
I recall. Desmond did the draWings and then
had to leave." Says Pilbrow, "I think Desmond
was also working at Stratford, Ontario at the
time."
