BREAKDOWN

SEEKING THE FOLLOWING

ROSENCRANTZ: Male. 30s. Well-dressed Elizabethan. Former schoolmate of Hamlet. Nice enough to be embarrassed at taking money off his friend Guildenstern. Gullible. The follower of the pair; believes himself incapable of being original. Forgetful, unconcerned, at ease. Likes answers, not questions. Not a planner. A rambler. Fine with not understanding. Any ethnicity.

GUILDENSTERN: Male. 30s. Well-dressed Elizabethan. Former schoolmate of Hamlet. Aware of his odd circumstances, but not going to panic about them. Detached, learned, and wry. A pragmatist. Given to wide swings in emotion. Has a mean streak. Needs instructions and needs to understand. Any ethnicity.

THE PLAYER: Male. 30s-40s. The leader of a rag-tag band of tragedians. A smooth talker. Very in charge. Not above the obscene. Smart and experienced. Desperate for an audience and a cash flow. Always in character; never changes out of costume. Any ethnicity.

HAMLET: Male. 30s. Unkempt, pale, piteous, and profound Prince of Denmark. Changed and transformed in appearance, following the recent suspicious death of his father the King. A riddler. Any ethnicity.

GERTRUDE: Female. 50s. The Queen of Denmark and mother of Hamlet. Regal and unafflicted. Any ethnicity.
