Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Name: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
Author: Tom Stoppard

by Tom Stoppard · 1966

Classics · ranked #54 in category

Two minor characters from Hamlet — Rosencrantz and Guildenstern — find themselves caught in events they don't understand and cannot control, waiting for the summons that will seal their fate. Stoppard's play is both a comic meditation on identity and free will and a theatrical examination of what it means to be a supporting character in someone else's drama.
