Lewisville Playhouse – “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead”
Directed by Chris James Cognetta Tom Stoppard’s play takes two minor characters from Shakespeare’s Hamlet – Rosencrantz and Guildenstern – and explores their lives and perspectives as they navigate the confusing events of Hamlet, highlighting themes of existentialism, fate, and the nature of reality through their often absurd and comical situations, while also grappling with their predetermined, tragic end as pawns in the larger drama of Hamlet.
