Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead

By Tom Stoppard
Presented by GRADS Theatre Company Inc. 

Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead flips the script on Hamlet, focusing on two minor characters bewildered by the events unfolding around them. Summoned by the King to figure out what's wrong with Hamlet, they find themselves lost in a world where a flipped coin always comes down heads, and pirates are occupational hazard.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern stumble towards their inevitable demise, grappling with their lack of control and purpose in a story they don't even understand. Stoppard's play might just be the most hilarious exploration of fate, free will, and the nature of reality, that our stage has ever seen.
