Against the backdrop of Hamlet, two hapless minor characters, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, take centre stage. As the young double act stumble their way in and out of the action of Shakespeare’s iconic drama, they become increasingly out of their depth as their version of the story unfolds.

To be marked for death without your own knowledge, to play a part you didn’t ask to play, to be doomed by a narrative you weren’t even aware you’re part of.

Yeah no they kinda hit with this. I mean I could say a lot of things but I guess you’re just gonna have to watch for yourself. I love plays that abuse the medium it’s presented in and this one is definitely up there now cause of it.

They lived btw
