Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are NOT Dead. Yet.

At AFD Theatre, chemistry crackles between the loopy everymen at the center of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead"

Or is it Guildenstern and Rosencrantz?

Ingrid Oslund, the director, made sure to cast two people who would work well together. "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are two little pawns getting moved around different worlds that all have different rules. What are the rules? What are they allowed to do? what are they supposed to be doing? These two actors are so good, and so good together.”

Mackenzie Carroll plays Rosencrantz with a wry, playful, bewildered twist.
Jaymes Sanchez, as Guildenstern, is sage and grumpy, and a bit more combative.

ROS: We don't owe anything to anyone.
GUIL: We've been caught up. Your smallest action sets off another somewhere else, and is set off by it. Keep an eye open, an ear cocked. Tread warily, follow instructions. We'll be all right.
ROS: For how long?
