The Barn Acting Studio (Los Angeles, CA)
Tom Stoppard’s acclaimed absurdist tragicomedy turns the focus on the lives and limited adventures of the doomed courtiers Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The Laurel and Hardy-like pair are only incidentally involved in the main action of the play and spend their time engaging in the playwright’s signature witty repartee and slapstick comedy as they move slowly and unavoidably toward their fates. Stoppard’s exploration of identity and illusion won the Tony Award for Best Play in 1968. Catch a modern classic as Cherry Poppins Company Theatre brings Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead to Los Angeles’ The Barn Acting Studio.
