Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead

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?

Starring from the Oscar-winning The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the title roles of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (or perhaps Guildenstern and Rosencrantz?) are Billy Boyd (Pippin) and Dominic Monaghan (Merry) in this unique and stunning new production created by Halifax’s Neptune Theatre.

Written by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Neptune Theatre Artistic Director Jeremy Webb
Starring Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan


Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd are stupendous. Michael Blake is magnetic. A trio of brilliant performances in Jeremy Webb’s impressive and striking production.
