'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead' by Tom Stoppard
A bold and contemporary take on Stoppard's iconic and award-winning play, which takes place, as it were, "in the wings" of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'.
This absurdist, existential tragicomedy expands upon the exploits of two of the bard's anti-heroes, the ill-fated courtiers Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
A rollercoaster of humour and poignancy, our exhilarating adaptation will draw on a range of stagecraft and audience participation to present the play with just four actors instead of the usual twenty.
Brought to you by the award-winning Different Theatre, creators of 'Clean', 'Chemistry' and 'The Last'.
Directed by Sam Chittenden. Featuring Ben Baeza, Morgan Corby, Ross Gurney-Randall and Nancy Logan.
An amateur production supported by The Cotton Theatre Trust.
