Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Tom Stoppard’s classic comes to TCR as we find out what the minor characters are up to when the leads are offstage. The Play’s the Thing – but the play you see is all a matter of point of view; in this case, the story of Hamlet as experienced by his two childhood friends who suffer a ghastly fate in the original. It’s a bitterly funny, dark, existential tour de force that turns Shakespeare’s themes on their heads (“Heads. Heads. Heads…”) and then back again…
Appropriate for audiences over 12.

No performance on Sept. 24 — Yom Kippur.
