Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

RM44.30 MYR
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Existential quandary meets Shakespearean intertextuality.

If you revel in sharp wit meshed with profound contemplation, Stoppard's masterpiece will not disappoint. It takes the familiar story of 'Hamlet' and provides a fresh, introspective angle, inviting you to ponder the roles of secondary characters in life's great drama. The play's blend of hilarity and depth holds a mirror to the randomness of existence, making it a timeless read for anyone who enjoys theatre and literature with layers.

Description

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is a play which, as it were, takes place in the wings of Hamlet, and finds both humour and poignancy in the situation of the ill-fated attendant lords. The National Theatre production in April 1967 made Tom Stoppard's reputation virtually overnight. Its wit, stagecraft and verbal verve remain as exhilarating as they were then and the play has become a contemporary classic.
