Product Description

A new, beautiful updated edition of Tom Stoppards best-loved play and one of Grove Atlantics bestselling backlist titles, published with a new introduction by Tom Stoppard to coincide with the 50th anniversary of its debutRosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is one of the most enduring and frequently performed plays of contemporary theater and has firmly established itself in the dramatic canon. Acclaimed as a modern masterpiece, it is the fabulously inventive tale of Hamlet as told from the worms-eye view of the bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters in Shakespeares play. In Tom Stoppards 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. Revised and reissued to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the plays first performance, this definitive edition includes a new introduction and previously unpublished ancillary material.

Review

Praise for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead:

A masterpiece, not unlike Shakespeares plays; its artfully, imaginatively written, multidimensional, and hilarious.New Yorker

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead . . . has proved its sturdiness and power to endure . . . It is, after all, the most performed, most studied, most earnestly analyzed and strenuously anatomized of all Mr. Stoppards plays: the foundation of his international career and the inevitable starting point for anyone wanting to appreciate him.Benedict Nightingale, New York Times

A coruscatingly brilliant, endlessly thought-provoking masterpiece.Wall Street Journal

In making Rosencrantz and Guildenstern . . . Stoppard mixed the poetic melodrama of Shakespeare with the doom-laden minimalism of Samuel Beckett and topped it with the slapstick of the Marx Brothers.Rolling Stone

Very funny. Very brilliant. Very chilling. It has the dust of thought about it and the particles glitter excitingly in the theatrical air . . . This is a most remarkable and thrilling play. In one bound Mr. Stoppard is asking to be considered as among the finest English-speaking writers of our stage, for this is a work of fascinating distinction.Clive Barnes, New York Times

Astonishing a youthful prank bursting with theatrical mischief and literary flair.Washington Post

A tour de force . . . Fascinating . . . A triumph.Roger Ebert

Tom Stoppards lively twist on Hamlet . . . [A] metapharcical romp . . . Stoppards philosophizing playfulness is clearly indebted to the music hall absurdism of Waiting for Godot . . . Stoppards fertile wit keeps this three-act drama pulsing along . . . A subtle pathos, along with the playwrights verbal sophistication, prevents the play from degenerating into a collegiate vaudeville . . . The language remains spry . . . It attains a comic lyricism thats as funny as it is piercing.Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times

Full of philosophizing, nuances and complexities . . . [An] absurdist tragi-comedy . . . Stoppards . . . writing is pristine.Charlotte Observer

Like Beckett, Stoppard shows two figures struggling to find identity and purpose in a world that makes little sense . . . Stoppard is always praised for his intellectual ingenuity: far more important is how, even in his late 20s, he was obsessed with human transience.Guardian

After the first night of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead at the National Theatre in 1967, Tom Stoppard awoke and found himself famous. Its still a delightful shock, every few years, to be reminded how brilliant and engaging this play remains.Independent (UK)

Stoppards too-clever-for-words little skit in the vicinity of Hamlet . . . This is absurdism 101 with a cultivated Oxbridge edge and an echo chamber of quotations and scattered emotional reverberations from the greatest enigma of
