Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Tom Stoppard’s funny, absurd, and tragic play centers on Hamlet minor characters, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, in their misadventures and musings enroute to their inevitable end. In this existentialist play, our heroes are incomplete men, floating in a world they cannot comprehend, and alternately trying to understand it and find diversions to distract themselves from it. Often compared to Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead raises many questions about free will versus determinism and the search for value in life.
