Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead!

If Rosencrantz and Guildenstern can just find out what’s up with Hamlet, they could really score points with the king. But, alas, while not much comes easy for any of Shakespeare’s characters, they are often funny, and such is the case in “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead,” which opens April 16 at CSUSB's Ronald E. Barnes Theater.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, minor characters in “Hamlet,” are major characters in this play by a master of word play, Tom Stoppard.  For Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, the problem is that no one really wants to talk about Hamlet’s maladies and the two friends are left to relying on their own observations and reports of performers who are visiting the castle.

The play runs April 16, 17, 22, 23 and 24 at 8 p.m. and April 18 and 25 at 2 p.m. in the Performing Arts Building.  General admission is $10, Alumni Association members and senior citizens are $8, and students are $5...read the complete story.
