For his final production as thirty-year artistic director of Chicago's Tony-winning Court Theatre, Charles Newell transforms Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead into an unexpectedly joyful celebration of legacy and theater. Newell reveals his lengthy relationship with not only Stoppard's plays but with the man himself, and shares how he cast two halves of a whole; how he chose to respond instinctively to what was happening in rehearsal rather than adhere to an intricate plan; and how he embraced the counterintuitive and seemingly-oxymoronic phrase “joyful requiem.” (PICTURED: Erik Hellman and Nate Burger as Guildenstern and Rosencrantz in the Court Theatre production of Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, directed by Charles Newell.

45. Hamlet in Howth - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard

Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan are a creative duo like few others. Their bond formed on the set of “The Lord of the Rings” as two Hobbits, Merry and Pippin, whose on-screen chemistry closely mirrored their real-life friendship. Now, Billy and Dominic are playing another iconic duo in a new production of “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.” They drop by to chat with Tom about the play and their decades-long friendship.

Proclaimers Scale: we would fly 6000 miles to see this again. Fate leads our two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end. Hamlet is turned topsy-turvy in this brilliant modern comedic masterpiece that thrusts Shakespeare's two minor characters to the forefront with no rules except one: they are destined to die. Reality and illusion mix as bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are trapped in a universe where their lives are left to chance with the flip of a coin. Can our hapless protagonists triumph in a battle of wits, escape their fate, and make sense of a senseless world? Starring from the Oscar-winning The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the title roles of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (or perhaps Guildenstern and Rosencrantz?) are Billy Boyd (Pippin) and Dominic Monaghan (Merry) in this unique and stunning new production created by Halifax's Neptune Theatre. Written by Tom Stoppard Directed by Neptune Theatre Artistic Director Jeremy Webb Starring Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan

Old pal Gargus returns to the pod to discuss Shakespeare's great drama Hamlet and its metatextual spinoff, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Join as they talk through the highs (and lows) of that something rotten in the state of Denmark, Brian's pointed Shakespeare opinions, and the play's perplexing title character. Then, they talk through the hilarious and thought-provoking pastiche of Hamlet's unceremoniously discarded side characters. Gargus shares their connection to the film as Dan and Brian try to make heads or tails (heads!) of the story.

...no, not the pseudo-Kithbook: Sidhe. We already covered that book, if you'll remember Episode 11. This time we'll be talking about the similarly named but wholly different The Shining Host, Changeling's entry in the LARP (Live-Action RolePlaying) universe of Mind's Eye Theatre. Given the alignment between the themes and mechanics of Changeling: the Dreaming and, well, make-believe, it's a natural fit for this more performative style of roleplaying. Part book dive and part exploration of the role-playing style, this episode is also one of those situations where Josh has extensive experience and Pooka has basically zero, and the disparity in knowledge is quite apparent. But we have a special guest to help us out this time: the book's author, and eventual MET/C20 developer, Pete Woodworth!

In this episode, we discuss the 1984 Chicago album, "Chicago 17", more specifically the band's revival and collaboration with mega-producer David Foster, who we think you'll agree is well worth your time and investigation. We also discuss the hilarious cult classic murder mystery comedy "Clue", featuring a stellar cast that includes Tim Curry, a number of Mel Brooks alumni, and an a well-known punk rock singer.

Hamlet is much bigger and better than it was supposed to be, so it's only natural that its existential death satire (if that's a genre) is too. Paul talks Tom Stoppard's brilliant 1966 play Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead.Shakespeare, William. Hamlet. Toronto: Thompson and Nelson, 2003.Stoppard, Tom. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. New York: Grove Press, 1967. 

Tom Stoppard has been a fixture on Broadway since his famous early play, “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,” travelled there in 1967. Stoppard is eighty-five years old, and has largely resisted the autobiographical element in his work. But now, in “Leopoldstadt,” a play that has just opened on Broadway, he draws on his family's tragic losses in the Second World War. Stoppard talks with the contributor Andrew Dickson about his latest work.  And the Oscar- and Emmy Award-winning actor Geena Davis, best known for her role in “Thelma and Louise,” talks with the staff writer Michael Schulman about her life and career. Davis ascribes much of her early experience on- and offscreen to a certain level of politeness, a character trait ingrained in her from childhood. “I learned politeness from minute one, I'm sure,” she tells Schulman. “That was my family: very old-fashioned New Englanders.” She reflects on her childhood, her iconic roles in the eighties and nineties, and her “journey to badassery” in her new memoir, “Dying of Politeness,” out this month.

We're hitting pause on our look through Shakespearean soliloquies to take a moment to share our latest discovery! With the inspiration of Kyara Hunter, a Masters student at the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon, we're bringing to you the idea of another type of formatting: Bullet Formatting What's this?

This week, we're slamming hard then repeatedly assuring the camera crew that we're ok. We just gotta walk it off. Also, we're wearing a horse costume. We talk about the rising stars of jackass, and how badly their junk gets ruined over the course of this movie. We also talk about how scary animals are, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (of course), and movie trailers for too long.

“You're only the new kid in town once. I disagree with that. You're the new kid in town every six months because everyone has a short memory.” - Josh Johnston.  Happy 2022, everyone! Born into a theatre family, Josh Johnston has a perspective on the industry fresh enough to start the new year right. One of the best things Josh promotes is his use of boundaries, something we all can implement more, especially since we've been so available thanks to the use of social media and Zoom.  “Sometimes I think we all need that space to decompress or find out Zen,” says Johnston. “I don't do yoga and I don't meditate. So, mine is just getting away from the phone and popping back into people's lives when I'm around. And it's a big ask for a friend to just be cool with that. I like wiping my feet at the door. I don't like constantly being ‘on' and having to go to sleep and wake up with my thoughts on what I need to do to survive and be creative everyday.” Josh is a self proclaimed superfan of Dear Multi-Hyphenate and can quote many of the guests in previous episodes. He has a factual brain full of memories, facts, and statistics. I've tried to get him on the podcast before, but he's declined until now, thanks to him entering a part of his career where he is actively producing, writing, and performing – especially now that his Radio Play Revival featuring Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Chastain, Boyd Gaines, and more has been released.  On this episode, we follow the themes of doing what you know, understanding who you are, establishing boundaries to protect yourself and your art, making an art out of a trade, studying and applying craft, moving from coast to coast, and Josh's wild relationships with for now jobs – like working the National Hot Dog Eating Championship. And students of the theatre listening to this episode? There are a lot of good nuggets to take away!  “I cannot sing Golden Age musical theatre eight times a week,” says Johnston. “I would be putting hundreds of people at risk. I'm wasting their time and their money and resources. There are better people for that job than me… and I know that. There are other things I can do.”  Josh Johnston's Radio Play Revival features great American actors performing great American works of literature. Performed by both established and new-and-emerging performers, musicians, and writers, Radio Play Revival pays homage to the golden age of radio, in the now-second golden age of audio. Josh Johnston is an actor and a writer, and now producer and director. Onstage, Josh toured with The Acting Company in their 40th season (Hamlet; Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (directed by John Rando)), and has worked regionally; selected regional works include: The Merchant of Venice & Henry VIII at Valley Shakespeare Festival in Connecticut, The Cradle Will Rock in NYC (The Acting Company benefit at The Jacobs Theatre), and 5 shows at The Ravinia Festival in Illinois, including Passion, A Little Night Music (professional stage debut back in 2001!), and Annie Get Your Gun, all 5 Ravinia shows directed by Lonny Price. Josh is also a musician, playing bass at various Duplex Cabaret Theatre shows downtown, and subbing in for Billy Magnussen on guitar and vocals in Billy's former band, Reserved For Rondee, at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC. During the pandemic, Josh moved to LA where he began pursuing work in TV and film; he most recently played a supporting role in the film TO LESLIE (post-production), directed by Michael Morris, and in the past, has worked on Season 1 of the show Benders, on IFC. Josh writes screenplays and TV scripts when he is not acting, because he cannot dance or coach singers or wait tables. He's bad at all 3 of those things. Learn more about your ad choices.

Minute Forty-Four: From Satellite Talk to Middle-of-the-Street Talk Joining us on the show to discuss the mysterious satellite Jake and Pete tell Izzy about as well as Jane stopping Thor in his pursuit of it is Austin Tichenor, creator of The Shakespeareance, co-artistic director of The Reduced Shakespeare Company and producer & host of the Reduced Shakespeare Company Podcast. In the forty-fourth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Jake and Pete tell Izzy about the satellite they found in the desert and the big party that took place. It's great how Erik and Jane are drawn to them talking about a satellite and Thor is drawn in when they say how heavy it is. We're glad these townies don't play to the tropes of how townies so often are there just to bully our heroes. Darcy takes pictures of Thor for Facebook. A few years earlier, it was MySpace in Iron Man. So much of these stories is about identity, as Austin points out, including our identity as watchers. Darcy, Coulson, Wu – so many characters speak to the nature of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in Shakespeare's works, though perhaps more in Tom Stoppard's “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.” This type of storytelling has grown in popularity so much. Fool. Wicked. Maleficent. It's walking in someone else's shoes. The villains are the heroes in their own stories. It's all a type of fan fiction to an extent. Even the Bible comes into the conversation. That's all to point out that Darcy has little interest in the conversation about the satellite. She's in her own space here. Thor gives such a great goofy smile here. But Thor catches the satellite conversation, albeit only when they talk about how heavy it was. And that sends Thor on his quest to find Mjølnir. Thor leaves Isabela's Diner to find the satellite, aka Mjølnir. How does Thor know which direction is west? And who paid the bill? We decide they have a tab here. We love that Thor clearly sees himself as essentially the focal point of every place he goes. Shakespeare popularized the use of the word ‘swagger.' Who knew? Where did all these cars come from suddenly? We laugh about the possible connection between Donut Land here and the donut shop in Iron Man 2. Is the OK Furniture a nod to JMS's storyline in the Thor comics involving Thor landing in Oklahoma (where the wind goes sweeping through the plains)? Radioactivity and a satellite and government, oh my! There's plenty to talk about with Austin in this minute. Tune in!

Tonight we began reading letter 27. It has already proven to be thrilling in the sense that we begin to see the promise and the action of God's grace in our life. St. Theophan makes it clear that we must make a conscious and deliberate choice to embrace this grace of God fully in our lives. There is no static position. We embrace grace in its fullness or we fall into lukewarmness and lose this great gift. What grace promises is truly beautiful - perfect harmony and a share in the invincible peace of the kingdom. In a few short paragraphs St. Theophan shows us exactly what the pearl of great price is - - it is the grace of God and the transformation that it brings to our lives and that endures unto eternity. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:50:01 Fr. John (Ivan) Chirovsky: https://blogs.ancientfaith.com/glory2godforallthings/2020/09/15/a-cruciform-providence-3/ 00:58:40 Eric Williams: "All your life, you live so close to truth, it becomes a permanent blur in the corner of your eye. And when something nudges it into outline, it is like being ambushed by a grotesque." - Tom Stoppard (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead) 01:23:54 Eric Williams: Nothing has helped me understand the amazing patience, love, and mercy of God like becoming a parent. As frustrated as I get when my kids don't choose what's in their best interest or in the interest of right or righteousness, imagine how much more frustrated God must be with us and our rebellions! ;) 01:28:06 Mark Cummings: Thank you!

### Why have a “special” episode? (1:06) It's a fun break from the routine, it keeps the tension going, it's a way to make some in-game event more special and it allows you to do things that the “regular” rules/flow/setting might not be well-suited to. And it encourages everyone to put more effort and excitement into the game. ### When? (2:25) A special can be used to celebrate an event (in-play or off-play) an adventure finale, a campaign finale, a player's birthday, a momentous event, something that the mechnics don't support, to represent something grander than the usual scope or scale. ### An all nighter (3:25) Set the time to play an extended session. ### Childhood encounters (3:45) Play the characters in their youth (toddlers/children/teens). ### Playing the baddies (4:40) Getting the player to play the villains.

Geoffrey Wade from Ep. #5 talks text work on performing The Player from Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. Geoffrey played this part at Weston Playhouse in Vermont and he even shares some of his script notes from rehearsals. Click here for full show notes and links. See additional content on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.   Geoffrey's monologue from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard THE PLAYER: We're actors…. We pledged our identities, secure in the conventions of our trade, that someone would be watching. And then, gradually, no one was. We were caught, high and dry. It was not until the murderer's long soliloquy that we were able to look around; frozen as we were in profile, our eyes searched you out, first confidently, then hesitantly, then desperately as each patch of turf, each log, each exposed corner in every direction proved uninhabited, and all the while the murderous King addressed the horizon with his dreary interminable guilt…. Out heads began to move, wary as lizards, the corpse of unsullied Rosalinda peeped through his fingers, and the King faltered. Even then, habit and a stubborn trust that our audience spied upon us from behind the nearest bush, forced our bodies to blunder on long after they had emptied of meaning, until like runaway carts they dragged to a halt. No one came forward. No one shouted at us. The silence was unbreakable, it imposed itself on us; it was obscene. We took off our crowns and swords and cloths of gold and moved silent on the road to Elsinore.

This week, we welcome Claudia Gray, who wrote 'Lost Stars,' a YA novel set during the events of the original trilogy but which follows a pair of best friends who give a unique perspective to everything we think we know. Imagine 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead' set in the Star Wars universe, and you're close.
