Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
1363 Old Globe Way, San Diego, 92101
This is probably as good a production as Tom Stoppard's comi-tragedy will ever see. Director Adrian Noble knows the play to its inches and has encouraged excellent performances from leads Jay Whittaker (Guildenstern) and John Lavelle (a hilarious, "second banana" Rosencrantz). The duo are minor characters in Shakespeare's Hamlet, which a TV crew is filming, and exist only in relation to the play. Or do they? Though "nobody special," they raise the same questions as the melancholy Dane, and in a far more entertaining fashion. [Note: R&G runs in repertory with A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Merchant of Venice].
