Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

The main characters of this hilariously funny play that suddenly turned young Stoppard into a major British theater figure are two mor characters of Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. This ridiculous couple falls out onto the stage and tries in vain to comprehend the meaning of what is happening, while the familiar events of the famous Shakespearean tragedy unfold around it.
