Prince Hamlet’s two school buddies, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, find themselves flipping coins with no memory, save for a mysterious figure on horseback summoning them to the court of Elsinore.

In a flash, forces beyond their control take them on an offstage tour of Shakespeare’s Hamlet where, much to their entertaining incomprehension, they are sometimes players in the action.
Add a wily troupe of actors, prince-stealing pirates, gambling, and word games and you’ve got Stoppard’s classic comedy of clowns and wit.

Here’s what our critics say:
