Barge in
R: Do you think death could possibly be a boat?
G: No, Death is…not. … Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can’t not-be on a boat.
R: I’ve frequently not been on boats.
G: No, no, no — what you’ve been is not on boats.
Catch the existential comedy “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” on a boat! With one more performance on Saturday.
