[news] Ikuta Toma stage play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead"
Ikuta Toma and Suda Masaki will be first co-starring in the stage play entitled "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead". It will be firstly played on stage in October for 16 days.
This stage play is an absurdist, existentialist tragicomedy by Tom Stoppard, first staged at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1966. The play expands upon the exploits of two minor characters from Shakespeare's Hamlet, the courtiers Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The action of Stoppard's play takes place mainly "in the wings" of Shakespeare's, with brief appearances of major characters from Hamlet who enact fragments of the original's scenes. Between these episodes the two protagonists voice their confusion at the progress of events occurring onstage without them in Hamlet, of which they have no direct knowledge
