Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Beneath a sky of painted clouds that stretches deep into the dark, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor courtiers from Hamlet, have been summoned to Elsinore with little idea why. They pass the time tossing coins, playing word games and debating chance, fate and death, while the events of Hamlet unfold around them in brief glimpses and a troupe of travelling actors, led by the Player, offers its own commentary on performance and mortality.
