Acclaimed as a modern dramatic masterpiece Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead is the fabulously inventive tale of Hamlet as told from the worm's-eye view of the bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern two minor characters in Shakespeare's play. 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.
