Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

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.Tom Stoppard is the author of 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead' with ISBN 9780394172606 and ISBN 0394172604.
