Photo Flash: First Look at John Lavelle, Jay Whittaker and More in Old Globe's ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD

By:

The Old Globe presents ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD by Tom Stoppard and directed by Adrian Noble, June 16 - Sept. 26, 2013 (Previews: June 16, 29 and 30 and July 1 / Opening Night: July 2) at the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production photos below.

Fast-paced and irresistibly funny, Tom Stoppard's Tony Award-winning farce turns Shakespeare's Hamlet inside out. Two clowns wake up one morning to discover that they are minor characters in the greatest tragedy ever written. As the story ofHamlet plays out all around them, they struggle to figure out what is happening, what it all means and whether they can escape their ultimate fate.

The creative team includes: Tom Stoppard (Playwright), Adrian Noble (Director; 2013 Shakespeare Festival Artistic Director), Ralph Funicello (Scenic Design), Deirdre Clancy (Costume Design), Alan Burrett (Lighting Design), Dan Moses Schreier (Sound Design), Peter Golub (Original Music), George Yé (Fight Director), Jan Gist (Voice and Dialect Coach), Samantha Barrie, CSA (Casting) and Bret Torbeck (Stage Manager).

The cast includes: Winslow Corbett (Ophelia), Nic Few (Horatio), Jeremy Fisher (Laertes), Lucas Hall (Hamlet), Sherman Howard (The Player), Stephen Hu (Alfred), Charles Janasz (Polonius), John Lavelle (Rosencrantz), Christopher Salazar (Ambassador), Triney Sandoval (Claudius), Robbie Simpson (Soldier, Fortinbras), Ryman Sneed (Gertrude) and Jay Whittaker (Guildenstern) with Matthew Bellows, Jeremy Fisher, Adam Gerber and Kushtrim Hoxha (Tragedians), Erin Elizabeth Adams, Meaghan Boeing, Whitney Wakimoto and Sean-Michael Wilkinson (Film Crew) and Allison Layman, Danielle O'Farrell and Stephanie Roetzel (Attendants).
