“I thought it would be a fascinating artistic journey not only for the actors but also for the audiences who will see both plays.” “The feeling we’re going for is that ‘Hamlet’ is happening just on the other side of the curtain, just around the corner,” Orr says. The sets complement each other well, and the two plays share one cast, with each actor playing the same role in both productions. In a unique twist, CSF will present “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead” in repertory with “Hamlet” on the indoor University Theatre stage. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two bewildered schoolmates sent to pull the Danish royal out of a descent into madness, grapple with fate, free will and the game of life. In this hilarious and mind-bending comedy by the Oscar-winning screenwriter of “Shakespeare in Love,” “Hamlet” is brilliantly retold through the eyes of two minor characters. CSF’s producing artistic director Timothy Orr directs the production. The Colorado Shakespeare Festival ’s 60th season continues with “ Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead ,” a critically-acclaimed 1966 play by Tom Stoppard. Tom Stoppard’s classic play turns ‘Hamlet’ inside out.
