Gallery Players Season Opener With its usual passion, high-caliber acting, and diverse programming, Gallery Players opens its 69
th season with Tom Stoppard’s best known work
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. On October 21 at 8:00 p.m. in the Roth/Resler Theater at the JCC, actors and community members alike take the stage to present the play inspired by William Shakespeare’s
Hamlet. The dark comedy explores deep and important questions of the human condition through bright humor and biting wit.
Stoppard, a Czech-born Jewish British playwright, is recognized for his film screenplays such as
Shakespeare in Love (1998 Academy Award, Best Original Screenplay) and
Anna Karenina, and his numerous theatrical plays.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead stands as his first major work to gain recognition, celebrating its 50
th anniversary this year. It took home the 1968 Tony Award for Best Play along with New York Drama Critic’s Circle Award in the same category. A defining characteristic of Stoppard’s writing style is addressing philosophical questions with wit and comedy which is exemplary in even this early work. Read more
