Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead
ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD

LITLINGTON 19 APRIL; BRIGHTON 9, 10, 23, 24 MAY
A bold and contemporary take on Stoppard's iconic and award-winning play, which takes place, as it were, "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.
Our exhilarating new version will draw on a range of stagecraft and audience participation to present the play (and its plays) with just four actors instead of the usual twenty. It will be a rollercoaster of humour and poignancy. A limited number of ' stage-side' tickets with a close up view will be available.
An amateur production brought to you by award-winning Different Theatre, creators of Clean, Chemistry and The Last. Supported by The Cotton Theatre Trust.
Directed by Sam Chittenden. Featuring Ben Baeza, Morgan Corby, Esther Dracott and Ross Gurney-Randall.
A limited number of stage-side seats are available.
