Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
Somehow in college I stumbled upon a radio drama production of this play. My music appreciation professor, Cecil Isaac, put me onto it, I believe. It was amazing then (1991) and I really like it now. Tom Stoppard is an amazing writer, a true wordsmith and I am always picking something out that seems new. A new nuance or turn of phrase or something that just seems to bring new meaning to the text.
This weekend is our Cleveland Shakespeare Festival's last weekend for Hamlet (Saturday) and R&G (Sunday) and we hope to attend both, so naturally, I dusted off both and breezed through them again.
Wonderful! Someday I hope to see both produced on the same stage at roughly simultaneous times. That would be fun.

We look forward to seeing you this weekend!
I hope you will come close to your goal at seeing both, because we intentionally designed both productions "to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to,"each other.
