This play tells the story of Hamlet from the point of view of Rozencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters who got pulled into action without really knowing what’s going on. 

According to several cast members, the play is an absurdist comedy that explores questions of identity and purpose. While the production explores deeper ideas, it still is a comedy. In addition to great humor, the audiences can expect creative directing, and amazing costume design.

The show will be on the Ohio State Mansfield campus in the Founders Auditorium in Ovalwood Hall. This is a great opportunity for the local community and students to see the work the theatre team has put into this performance and support the local arts right here on campus. Whether it’s your first time seeing a play or you’re a longtime enthusiast of theatre arts, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead guarantees a hilarious and engaging show that you’ll be sure to remember.
