Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

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.

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: May-31-2009; Neat View of Existance; Stoppard takes two minor characters from Hamlet and turns them into two everyman (anti) heroes.

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Mar-15-2009; In a tragedy even minor characters die; Screen plays serve several purposes; when the follow the film closely you get to slowdown and have time to savor the nuances.

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Feb-28-2003; I'm not as charmed as others.; Disclaimer: I read this for English class.I did not think this book was good. The movie is somewhat better.
