Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

by TOM STOPPARD

Directed by Sam Chittenden

A bold and contemporary take on Stoppard's iconic and award-winning play, which takes place ‘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.

This exhilarating new version will draw on a range of stagecraft and audience participation to present the play (and its plays) with just four actors, in a rollercoaster of humour and poignancy. 

An amateur production brought to you by award-winning Different Theatre, creators of Clean, Chemistry and The Last. Supported by The Cotton Theatre Trust.
