EAP is very proud and honoured to announce that we will be covering all shows now on stage at Hart House on the U of T campus. Liza and I are alumni of the University so we are very happy to be promoting this wonderful theatre.
Press Release:
Toronto, Ontario (August 28, 2012) - Hart House Theatre is thrilled to be kicking off our 2012/2013 season on September 21, 2012 with the opening of Tom Stoppard's classic Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Written by one of the world's greatest contemporary playwrights the production will run untilOctober 6, 2012.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead retells the story of Shakespeare's Hamlet through the eyes of two of its minor characters as they are mercilessly swept into a world completely beyond their grasp. Using his razor sharp wit and unmatched comedic brilliance, Tom Stoppard creates protagonists who grapple with the big philosophical questions about identity, fate and postmortem toenail growth, while they unwittingly fight for their lives. The Tony Award winning Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead has played across the globe, been adapted into an award-winning film and is now as recognizable as the classic on which it is based.
Bringing Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead to life is Director Matthew Gorman. As the Artist Director of Cart/Horse Theatre, he has appeared in their critically acclaimed productions of Vincent River, Rum and Vodka, and Winners. As a Director, Matthew has worked on Like A Dog (Your Good Friends, Toronto Fringe Festival 2012) and The River Lady(Lonesome Crowded West). As an actor he has worked with Eastern Front Theatre, Modern Underground, Port Stanley Festival Theatre, The Grand Theatre and Theatre Athena.
