    Acclaimed as a modern masterpiece, this existentialist play is the fabulously inventive tale of Shakespeare's Hamlet as told from the perspective of two of its minor characters. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are friends of Hamlet from Wittenberg who are called upon by King Claudius to come and keep his stepson/nephew company and, essentially, spy on him. We all know how the story ends, but these two blokes trudge through life with hope that everything will be all right. Can they actually control their own destiny, or will fate win the day? Is this a tragedy or a comedy? Can life be anything but both? Director Dinna Myers invites you to step into a raucously funny world where anything can happen - or can it? Recommend for patrons over 16 years of age due to sexual content.

      This was an enjoyable showing of R&G! The theater was a perfect, intimate location and the employees were very nice. I enjoyed that the Player was female in this rendition.

      This production of R&G is fantastic -- Rosencrantz and Guildenstern both do a great job making the fairly dense material accessible. The woman playing the lead of the Players is absolutely amazing -... Expand
