CAPE GAZETTE, Friday, May I - May 7, 1998- 71
Cape Thespians to perform 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern'
By Kelianne Bailey
The Cape Henlopen Thespians
are working hard to produce the
Tom Stoppard comedy "Rosen-
crantz and Guildenstern Are
Dead," which will be staged at the
Cape Henlopen Little Theatre on
Friday, May 1, and Saturday, May
2, at 7:30 p.m., both days.
"The play is hilarious," said Su-
san Clark, "It's really coming to-
gether nicely." The comedy picks
up where Shakespeare's play
"Hamlet" leaves off. At the end of
"Hamlet," Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern are killed when
Hamlet figures out his two school
buddies are spies for his uncle, the
new king. Throughout the Stop-
pard comedy, Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern are desperately try-
ing to figure out where they are
and what happened to them.
Periodically, clips from the play
"Hamlet" are performed, showing
the great parallelism between the
two works.
"'Rosencrantz and Guilden-
stern' has an element of genius.
Stoppard probes many facets of
the human condition, and some-
times touches on very deep sub-
jects.
Above all, this is a British com-
edy and an audience should sim-
ply come expecting to gather what
they can, and hopefully, have a
good time doing so," said Sarah
McCarron, who will be playing
Rosencrantz in the upcoming pro-
duction.
Sarah Shields will play
Guildenstern, and she feels that
this play has been quite an experi-
ence "At first," she said, "I strived
to find the lost meanings in the
play. Now I've come to realize
that there is so much meaning, it
really means nothing at all. Then
again, I could be wrong."
