Katrin Bachmeier Robertson Intro to Theatre 1131-01 10/26/00 Do you want to play Questions? Tom Stoppard's, “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead” was directed and produced by Michael Robertson, in a two act show performed at the Whitney Fine Arts Theatre on Loring Park. Colored and patterned with existentialism and feelings of absurdity, the two main characters Rosencrantz (played by Michael Snyder) and Guildenstern (played by Kyle Bowe) emerge and encounter a world where their meaning is arbitrary …

…dead, as inauthentic and non-human as it is possible to get. That we get it and they don’t is the point. But watching them try to get it make for a very very fun ride. The linguistic acrobatics, sexual innuendos and near intellectual misses throughought the play intrigued and humored me greatly. Snyder and Bowe...Bowe and gentle Snyder do a fantastic job making two “nothing” characters fun and likable (almost) something. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
