The Absurdly Funny Comedy About Shakespeare’s Famous Tragedy
By Tom Stoppard
Directed by Jason King Jones
July 17 to August 2 | Main Stage
Lost in a Shakespearean drama they barely understand, two glorified extras from Hamlet stumble into the spotlight. Watch as our hapless heroes flip coins (which mysteriously keep landing heads), ponder the meaning of life (spoiler: they don’t figure it out), and wonder if they’re actually the main characters in someone else’s tragedy. Occasionally, the “real” play crashes their existential party, sending them into a panic of “Wait, which one am I again?”
Tom Stoppard’s brilliant Tony Award-winning comedy flips the Danish prince’s story sideways. It’s tragically hilarious, philosophically ridiculous, and utterly unmissable!
Running Time: Approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, with one 15-minute intermission.
Content Advisory: Contains mild adult language, some dark humor, and occasional references to violence and death.
Recommended Age: 13+
Catch it in repertory with Hamlet for the full experience —double the Denmark, double the existential crisis! No knowledge of Hamlet required, though seeing both shows may answer the question “What the heck was happening in the other play?” Or not. We make no promises.
