Great Danes: Shakespeare’s "Hamlet" and Stoppard’s "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead"
Come to Elsinore! Join us in a dramatic reading of two plays about a gloomy but intriguing Danish prince. Readers will gather in the morning, fortified with coffee and pastries, to read Shakespeare’s "Hamlet" in its entirety. After a break for lunch (on your own), we will reconvene to finish the play. We turn then from high tragedy to existential comedy in Stoppard’s imaginative (and shorter) reconstruction, "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead." Mysterious guest readers may appear at strategic moments. There may be sword fights. There may be shipwrecks. There may be skulls. We conclude with refreshments and possibly some film clips. Details of times and places to follow.
