About WT
Writers’ Theatre was founded in 1992 to explore productions in which the word on the page and the artists that bring the word to life hold primary importance.

Central to this mission are three important core values:

  • Valuing text, both classic and contemporary, as the fundamental source of inspiration
  • Creating deliberately intimate performances where audiences are face to face with powerful stories
  • Honoring the time and commitment of our artists by remaining at the forefront of industry compensation

With a reputation for consistent artistic excellence, innovative educational programming and strong ties to our community, Writers’ Theatre has built an award-winning repertoire and today serves as a vital and highly-regarded company in the Chicago theatre community.

ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD
Written by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Artistic Director Michael Halberstam

September 29 - December 6, 2009
Performed at 325 Tudor Court, Glencoe

HAMLET, Shakespeare's greatest drama, is retold from the perspective of his schoolmates, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, in Tom Stoppard's comedic... masterpiece. Equal parts Laurel and Hardy, WAITING FOR GODOT and classic Shakespeare, Stoppard's scintillating wit, far-reaching imagination and astonishing skill with words trace the journey of these fascinating characters as they struggle to avoid the inevitability of the bard's tragic conclusion.

Tickets start at just $40 -- order today!
