What happens when you’re not the hero of the story? Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead flips Hamlet on its head, following two side characters who suddenly find themselves trapped inside a story they don’t fully understand. As events spiral around them, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern wrestle with fate, free will, friendship and the unsettling realization that they might have very little control over what happens next. Part of the St. Louis Shakespeare Festival’s 2026 season, the absurdist tragicomedy will play at the Albion Theatre this spring.
