The Seeing Place Theater Will Present ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD in Repertory With HAMLET, Beg. Today

The Seeing Place Theater, known for intensely intimate ensemble work, brings 12 actors together for a repertory event like no other - Tom Stoppard's absurdist "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" paired with its source material, Shakespeare's classic, "Hamlet", alternating nightly for 5 weeks starting today, May 31, 2013.

Hailed as The Best Play in the English Language, "Hamlet" is the quintessential Revenger's Tragedy of an unlikely hero, unearthing the story behind his father's sudden death. Stoppard's classic & hilarious treatise on existentialism, "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" is a worm's-eye view of the tale of Hamlet from Shakespeare's own Beavis and Butthead. With 1 united cast of 12 actors taking the same roles in both plays, come experience both sides of this classic story in the daring ensemble-driven manner that's made The Seeing Place a fixture in the NY indie theater scene.

This ensemble cast features Alex Alcheh (Laertes) Alan Altschuler (Polonius), David Arthur Bachrach (Player King), Kristen Carbone (Player Queen), Erin Cronican (Ophelia), Janice Hall (Gertrude), Robert King (Guildenstern), Philip Lakin (Rosencrantz), Oliver Lehne (Fortinbras/Alfred), Max Lorn-Krause (Horatio), BranDon Walker (Hamlet), and Jason Wilson (Claudius). Erin Cronican and BranDon Walker co-direct these plays.

The show has a limited engagement tonight, May 31- June 30, 2013 (Tue-Sat: 7pm, Sat-Sun: 2pm) at The Seeing Place @ ATA's Sargent Theater, 314 W 54th St, 4th Floor. Tickets are just $12 for each play and are available by calling SmartTix at (212)868-4444 and at www.smarttix.com. For more information visit www.seeingplacetheater.com
