Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Playwright

Stoppard, Tom

Play Description

StoppardÔÇÖs celebrated darkly comic pair navigates the often unrecognizable world behind and between the scenes of ShakespeareÔÇÖs Hamlet. Sparkling language and the farcical mischief of traveling players, the Danish court, and a pirate invasion make an evening with this ill-fated duo unforgettable.
