Misadventures and musings ensue as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters from Shakespeare's Hamlet, focus on their activities with the events of Hamlet as background. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is structured as the inverse of Hamlet; the title characters are the leads, not minor players, and Hamlet himself has only a small part. This play will constitute the second part of a two-part series that begins with Hamlet.
