Play | Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead: Absurd Comedy Hamlet Spinoff
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead is a Shakespearean tragedy turned upside down, inside out, and shaken vigorously. Minor characters take center stage as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern stumble through Hamlet, on their way to a fate Shakespeare has already written for them. Absurd comedy abounds as the pair of hapless heroes ponder the meaning of life (they don’t figure it out), flip coins (it’s always heads), and struggle to remember which one of them is which (they get it mostly right). Content warning: This play contains imagery of death and suicide, as well as blood. Written by Tom Stoppard. Directed by Devin E. Haqq. Cast: Jesse Cao Long, Pauline Lara, Juan Pablo Caceres, Peyton Turowski, Brandon Pineda-Bayudan, Britni Camacho, Mirza Haas, Ravyn Rochelle, Ronit Kathuria, Caden Sevier, Aaron Tyler, Ciro Saravia, Lance Brown, and Robert Bunn.
