‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead’ at the Old Globe

Looking for a refreshing change from alfresco Shakespeare? Then you might want to consider a trip to San Diego’s Old Globe “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” by Tom Stoppard, in which “Hamlet” is glimpsed through the oblique perspective of the prince’s twin buddies, sent to spy on him by Gertrude and Claudius in that Elsinore castle of murder, adultery and occult intrigue. Thanks to Adrian Noble, the departing artistic director of the Old Globe’s Shakespeare Festival, this madcap caper is enjoying a sprightly revival. 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park, San Diego, through Sept. 26. $29-$94. https://www.theoldglobe.org.
