In the playwright's will, two modest William Shakespeare play "Hamlet" characters Rozenkranc and Gildenstern, or people who have not said no on time, became heroes of modern dramaturgy and our times. The well -known classic W. Shakespeare's storyline in the play is masterfully played by: Prince Hamlet's Childhood and Studies at German University, Rosenkranc and Gildensn Hamlet's father, King Claudius invite him to escort the prince to England. The king gives them a secret letter asking them to put his head to the legitimate heir to the crown. Rosenkranc and Gildenstern accompany Hamlet to a unquestionable death, but the prince successfully interferes with the trap of fate. Gildenstern is dead ”with a witty classic Shakespearean dramaturgy and budding literary experiments, absurd aesthetics, and intellectual puzzles, virtuosic play of words with English irony. Hamlet's story is told by the playwright from the two secondary players, Rosenkranco and Gildensno, of W. Shakespeare's play, turned them into major.

Butusov will reveal and strengthen the laconic, unexpected materials and textures at the theater theater, the scenography and costumes created by the artist Marius Nekrošius. This play is built for the first time in the Lithuanian Theater.
