Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Acclaimed as a modern dramatic masterpiece, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is the fabulously inventive tale of Hamlet as told from the worm's-eye view of the bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters in Shakespeare's play. In Tom Stoppard's best-known work, this Shakespearean Laurel and Hardy finally get a chance to take the lead role, but do so in a world where echoes of Waiting for Godot resound, where reality and illusion intermix, and where fate leads our two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end.

FROM THE CRITICS

New York Times Book Review

This is a most remarkable play. Very funny. Very brilliant. Very chilling.

Edith Oliver

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead [is] verbally dazzling...the most exciting, witty intellectual treat imaginable. -- New Yorker
