Ever wonder what the side characters are up to while the main story happens? Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is just that two confused guys stuck in Hamlets world, trying to make sense of... anything, really. Its clever, hilarious, and surprisingly deep, with sharp dialogue and a lot of existential questions. If you like your comedy with a side of philosophy (and Shakespeare), this ones a must-read.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is a play which, as it were, takes place in the wings of Hamlet, and finds both humour and poignancy in the situation of the ill-fated attendant lords.
The National Theatre production in April 1967 made Tom Stoppard's reputation virtually overnight. Its wit, stagecraft and verbal verve remain as exhilarating as they were then and the play has become a contemporary classic.
