Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead!!

To all you theatre and drama lovers, Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC) is having a new show called Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead (R&G), perform by the Thatre for young people (T4YP) 2009 group. Directed by Christopher Ling, R&G is a comedy that centres on two bewildered minor characters from Shakespeare's tragic tale of Hamlet. They are thrust centre stage and given the chance to finally take lead roles in this fabulously inventive take on Hamlet.

But R&G do so in a world where reality and illusion intermingle, and where fate leads the two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end. Unaware of the roles in the much bigger picture Hamlet, R&G get themselves into hilarious situations. Although the play is primarily a comedy, they constantly stumble upon philosophical truths in the midst of the ludicrous ramblings.

Enough of the explanation, if you want to know more about R&G, go watch it at Pentas 2, KLPAC (Sentul Park, Jalan Strachan off Jalan Ipoh), at these times and dates:

18th-20th June: 8.30pm
21st-22nd June: 3.00pm & 8.30pm

Tickets are priced at RM25 and Rm15 ( for students, senior citizens, and disabled)
