Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Directed by Greg Cole

Main House

This funny, clever and absurd play has been described as a ‘comedy of terror’; and it’s not hard to see why it has remained popular for over 40 years. By mixing a dazzling array of references (to everything from English literature to probability theory) with the broadest of broad humour, it has something for everyone, from the intellectual to the man on the street, and to cap it all is set on the fringes of one of the greatest plays ever written: William Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

The two hapless protagonists find ways to pass the time while dimly aware that they are minor characters in a much larger story. By reversing Shakespeare’s perspective, Stoppard brilliantly and compassionately reveals that their destiny is every bit as tragic as Hamlet’s.
