(PISCATAWAY, NJ) -- Circle Players presents Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard, weekends from March 9 to March 25. A modern dramatic masterpiece that tells the tale of Hamlet from the worm’s-eye view of the bewildered minor characters in Shakespeare’s play. In Stoppard’s best-known work, this Shakespearean Laurel and Hardy finally get a chance to take the lead role, but in a world where echoes of Waiting for Godot resound, and reality and illusion intermix.
The play will be directed by Mikaela Kafka of Hoboken and produced by John Dowgin of Spotswood and JD Robinson of Highland Park. It will be stage managed by Jennifer Robinson of Highland Park. The cast includes Jake Burbage of Jersey City, Michael Stratton of Union City, Jennifer Wewers of Hillsborough, JD Robinson of Highland Park, Heidi Carter Hart of Maplewood, David Gross of Washington, Matt Marino of Bernardsville, Liz Rapelye of South Plainfeld, Alison Mitchell of Mays Landing, Lew Decker of Millington, Ericaa Boyea of South Plainfield, and Ed Faver of Roselle.
Performance dates are: Fridays: March 9, 23 at 8:00pm; Saturdays: March 10, 17, 24, at 8:00pm; and Sundays: March 18, 25 at 3:00pm. A talkback will be held following the Sunday, March 18 performance.
