Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

SCRAP Productions, in conjunction with UNM Department of Theatre and Dance, presents Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard. This inventive tale recreates Shakespeare’s Hamlet with a slightly different point of view. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern don’t know why they are here. They don’t know what they are doing. They don’t even know their own names. But they are summoned to find what ails their friend Hamlet. Manipulated by the king, and challenged by mysterious tragedians, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are simply trying to find their role in it all. In the midst of turmoil, royal upheaval, and treason, this duo, begins to question their motives, their sanity, and their lives.
