Seattle Public Theater gives Tom Stoppard's classic absurdist, existentialist tragicomedy a fresh spin by giving the lead roles -- traditionally played by men -- to women. Angela DiMarco (The 13th of Paris) and Alyssa Keene (Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol) star in this version of the Tony-winning play, which tells the story of two minor characters from Shakespeare's Hamlet. Largely isolated from the main action of the play, the pair spend their time in confusion, engaging in witty repartee with the leader of the traveling acting company that comes to the castle, and moving slowly and unavoidably toward their doom.

The Bathhouse Theater is a wonderful intimate little theater. I highly recommend seeing a play at this theater at your earliest possible convenience. This goes doubly so for "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead." Angela DiMarco and Alyssa Keene are brilliant in their roles as Guildenstern and Rosencrantz.

This was our first time seeing this play and we loved it. I thought since the theater was pretty small that the acting might not be of the same caliber as a bigger theater. Very happy to say I was dead wrong! All of the actors did a really great job engaging the material and the audience. Highly recommended for anyone.

Description

Audiences will laugh (and cry) their way into the New Year with Tom Stoppard’s Tony Award-winning comedy, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. Zany humor, quicksilver wordplay, gripping tension and a heady swirl of ideas all come together in this story of two nobodies who long to star in their own story.

SPT's revival, directed by Artistic and Education Director Shana Bestock, casts local actresses in traditionally male roles. Angela DiMarco (The 13th of Paris) and Alyssa Keene (Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol) take on Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, with Heather Hawkins (End Days, Mauritius) as The Player.

The cast also features Matt Aguayo, Ray Gonzalez, Julie Jamieson (Arms and the Man), Kenna Kettrick (The Best Christmas Pageant Ever), Patrick Lennon (Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol), Jessa Lowe, John Murray (Of Mice and Men, Mauritius) and Duncan Weinland (The Best Christmas Pageant Ever).

About the Ticket Supplier: Seattle Public Theater

Founded in 1988, Seattle Public Theater was originally a small company that primarily toured plays in local Seattle public schools and worked with adult and at-risk youth populations to create socially conscious theater. In 2000, Seattle Public was chosen by the City of Seattle in a competitive bidding process to be the resident theater company at the historic Bathhouse. Since then Seattle Public has had a remarkable rebirth to become one of Seattle's premiere mid-sized theaters, renowned for both an ambitious education program as well as high-quality professional productions.
