Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead
By Tom Stoppard
Directed by David M. Jenkins
Sep. 13 – Oct 8, 2023
Shimberg Playhouse, Straz Center
Before winning an Oscar as a writer of Shakespeare in Love, Tom Stoppard delivered another ingenious comic retelling involving the Bard of Stratford-upon-Avon — he dove into Hamlet and retold it from the point of view of two bumbling support players. The entire world is a stage, and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern play their part, finding themselves unwitting pawns in history’s greatest tragedy.
This hilarious contemporary classic was the winner of both the Tony and NY Drama Critics Circle awards when it premiered. TL;DR: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are the awkward college chums of Hamlet, and this is the story of what “really” happens behind the scenes as events pass them by.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, an absurdist, existential tragic-comedy written by British Playwright Tom Stoppard opened Friday evening amidst a room full of eager audience members and hearty laughter. Bringing a cast so deserving of the praise to the top of their game, showcasing their hard work on a not-so-easy show.
