A behind-the-scenes peek of Hamlet through the lens of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, the Danish prince’s mystified childhood friends. The play’s thought-provoking meditation on death, free will, and existentialism still resonates more than four decades after its 1966 premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
