Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

By Tom Stoppard. Directed by Benjamin Gonzales. Acclaimed as a modern dramatic masterpiece and a Tony Award winner for best play, this is the fabulously inventive tale of Hamlet as told from the worm's-eye view of the bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters in Shakespeare's play. In Tom Stoppard's best-known work, this Shakespearean Laurel and Hardy finally get a chance to take the lead role, but do so in a world where echoes of "Waiting for Godot" resound, where reality and illusion intermix, and where fate leads our two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end.
