Theatre - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
A play performed by Chorlton Players that follows two minor characters from Shakespeare's "Hamlet," Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, as they navigate their way through the events of the original play. Throughout the play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern struggle to understand their roles and the events unfolding around them. They engage in philosophical discussions about fate, free will, and the nature of reality. Ultimately, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are caught up in the intrigue and tragedy of the court, leading to their inevitable deaths. The play explores themes of existentialism, the randomness of life, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.
