Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd in

ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD

JANUARY 30 - FEBRUARY 25, 2024
FOUNTAIN HALL STAGE

By Tom Stoppard

Directed by Jeremy Webb

Fate leads our two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end.

Hamlet is turned topsy-turvy in this brilliant modern comedic masterpiece that thrusts Shakespeare’s two minor characters to the forefront with no rules except one: they are destined to die. Reality and illusion mix as bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are trapped in a universe where their lives are left to chance with the flip of a coin. Can our hapless protagonists triumph in a battle of wits, escape their fate, and make sense of a senseless world?  

Neptune welcomes actors Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan to Neptune Theatre in the title roles of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, or perhaps Guildenstern & Rosencrantz! "We are thrilled that these two internationally known actors have agreed to reunite, on stage this time, in a modern classic,' says Artistic Director Jeremy Webb. "It really is a beautiful fit and audiences will delight in seeing them performing together again and in such a strong play. They will be surrounded by a terrific supporting cast and creative team. 

"Very funny, very brilliant, very chilling; it has the dust of thought about it and
the particles glitter excitingly in the theatrical air."  
-The New York Times

"A stimulating, funny, imaginative comedy."  
-The New York Daily News
