Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

In Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, a verbally scintillating and richly inventive play, Tom Stoppard retells Hamlet through the eyes of two of its minor characters. Vaguely conscious that they are bit parts in a much bigger story of which they have no direct knowledge, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern hilariously and poignantly inhabit a world completely beyond their grasp.

Directed by Trevor Nunn, the show stars Samuel Barnett as Rosencrantz and Jamie Parker as Guildenstern.
