Event Description
'Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead' is the inventive tale of 'Hamlet' as told from the perspective of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters in Shakespeare's play. Act one opens with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern flipping coins, in an impossible game of heads and tails where every coin comes up heads. From here on the two protagonists leave everything to chance, with no idea who sent for them or why – or, come to think of it, even who is who. They finally get a chance to take the lead role, but do so in a world where reality and illusion intermix, and where fate leads our two heroes to a tragic end.
