Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead November 7, 2009

Writers Theatre presents 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,' directed by Michael Halberstam. 'Hamlet,' Shakespeare's greatest drama, is retold from the perspective of his schoolmates, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, in Tom Stoppard's comedic masterpiece. Equal parts Laurel and Hardy, 'Waiting for Godot' and classic Shakespeare, Stoppard's scintillating wit, far-reaching imagination and astonishing skill with words trace the journey of these fascinating characters as they struggle to avoid the inevitability of the bard's tragic conclusion.
