Participants will first read and discuss the play. Then we will watch and critique several interpretations of aspects of the play. Finally, we'll consider what insights Tom Stoppard's "Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" can offer a modern audience. The texts include any edition of "Hamlet", Stoppard's "Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Dead". We will discuss "Hamlet" Act One at our first session.
