Since its first production at the National Theater in 1967, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead has been regarded as one of the funniest plays ever written. Imagine Hamlet told from the slightly befuddled points of view of poor, doomed Rosencrantz and Guildenstern--or is it Guildenstern and Rosencrantz?--two sublime Nobodies who, willy-nilly, become pawns in Claudius' and Hamlet's schemes to outfox one another. Doomed to follow the plot, yet unaware that their actions are scripted, they point out the absurdities of their existence not so much by their understanding as by their total lack of comprehension. Tom Stoppard is one of the most prolific playwrights of our time. His other plays include Arcadia, Travesties, The Real Thing and the film script of Shakespeare in Love.
