Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead | Tom Stoppard
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.'One of the most original and engaging of post-war plays.' Daily Telegraph

A fun and thought-provoking read. (Of course ideally it would be better to see it on stage). I loved the wordplay, the sense of character & how Stoppard achieves this in just a few lines & the scope it gives for the reader (audience) to find meaning in it. To me it was asking if our lives are pre-determined, or how much we make our own fate, & what is the point of life. Much humour, a satirical take on Hamlet & theatre, & poignant moments.

Pinta Fave! “There must have been a moment, at the beginning, where we could have said no. But somehow we missed it.” 14mo
MrsMalaprop No way! I read this for English Literature in Year 11. Loved it at the time, which is interesting to reflect on now. How could 16 year-old me have got it 🤔🤷‍♀️😆. 14mo
Abailliekaras @Pinta heartbreaking! @MrsMalaprop we did Hamlet at school and I almost went back to re-read - this would have been a great companion read. 14mo

This is a very popular play written in the 1960s. From Shmoop: “The play cleverly re-interprets Shakespeare's Hamlet from the point of view of two minor characters: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The Laurel-and-Hardy-like pair are totally incidental to the action of Hamlet, subject to the whims of the King Claudius – who gets them to betray Hamlet – and then tricked by Hamlet into delivering a letter that condemns them to death.”

CarolynM I haven't read it. I was lukewarm about the film but the stage production I saw subsequently I liked a lot. 5y
Lcsmcat @CarolynM I agree that like most plays it is better when seen. When well directed it‘s incredibly funny. But an overdone production, not so much. 5y
OnlyYoo I think I saw a movie of this that was pretty good. I thought that it was pretty funny! 5y
suvata I guess I will have to check out the play or the movie. The book was a little hard to understand in parts. 5y

Ah, now I know how I came across this or, more precisely, what inspired me to read it—Waiting for Godot. This play also centers on two characters who bumble & stumble their way through ridiculous conversations, & brief moments of profound, albeit usually unrecognized, observations/revelations as they are caught up in events (they are two minor characters in Hamlet—who appears along with several other characters) larger than themselves. Fun read.

My next read comes straight from the “I randomly decided I needed to read this though I can‘t remember exactly why” part of my brain. Honestly, I‘m a little surprised I haven‘t already read it—my husband tells me he‘s read it!—but there is always a book that slides through the cracks. According to my husband, I can expect a very funny read.

Tom Stoppard's classic of Theater of the Absurd re-tells Hamlet from the perspective of two of its minor characters. It's hilarious.

Super fun read, especially for theatre geeks. Chock full of puns, absurdism, and some pretty meta comments on determinism. Definitely gave some new credence to “all the world‘s a stage” 😛

"Don't clap too loudly---it's a very old world."
Tom Stoppard's play was published 12 years after Waiting for Godot & reads like a humorous, meta version of Beckett's play. It was a real pleasure to read this & although I think it'd be rewarding to reread Hamlet, I didn't find it necessary. Interspersed with R & G's absurdist shenanigans are some poignant moments & heart stopping reflections on mortality.

Really glad I read this! It was a challenging read for me in so far as it's been a few years since I've read a play for leisure (or at all...) and I found had to get my head wrapped around the story in a different way than when I read novels. I also struggled somewhat to remember the plot of Hamlet, to be totally honest. Once I started getting into it, I enjoyed this play and even laughed out loud a few times!

And now for something totally different from the chick lit fiction I've been reading lately. This was an impulse Amazon purchase recently. I studied Hamlet in Grade 12 and then (obviously HAD to) took a Shakespeare course in undergrad, but the first time I heard about this play was in my Intro to English class. I haven't read this before and am excited to!

Reading this for #freakyfriday recommendation by @hermyknee and hoping to find the movie on Netflix or Amazon as soon as I‘m finished because I think watching it dramatized would be sidesplitting. Reminds me a lot of Waiting for Godot, which I saw on the stage in NYC a million years ago!

Lcsmcat Loved this! My husband was Guildenstern in his high school‘s production back in the day. 6y
Carolyn11215 @Lcsmcat I can imagine that playing one of these two would be a real hoot. Abbot and Costello‘s Who‘s on first routine keeps going through my mind as I read the dialogue! 6y

Ros: We're (Hamlet's) friends.
Guil: How do you know?
Ros: From our young days brought up with him.
Guil: You've only got their word for it.

"Words, words, words." That's all we have. This is my first Stoppard play. Brilliant, existentialist humour. The absurdity of the roles we're expected to play in life & realising that we might have been miscast. It helped me understand Hamlet in that context: how some people can never adjust to faking it.

batsy This is also about the problem of citizenship, I think. I don't know much about the context in which Stoppard wrote this but I can sense that the absurdity is a skewering of the ideology of patriotism and how it requires (produces?) docility and submissiveness. Something is indeed rotten in the state; a festering kind of rot. 6y

readinginthedark I was just thinking yesterday about what a crappy situation Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are thrown into. I mean, from their points-of-view, Hamlet really does seem crazy, and they thought they were doing their duties. There‘s no really good reason for them to be killed. 6y

I think the best example of #alltheworldsastage is Stoppard's play that puts onstage everything in Hamlet that happened off-stage.

In this scene, Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are practicing Verbal Tennis, where the goal is to answer every question with another question and never reveal any information. They get badly outplayed on-stage in Hamlet (but off-stage in Stoppard).

drokka I love this play! It's a more honest view of humans, granted the times are different and plays were both elitists and a means of being able to jeer at the nobility without being sent to the gallows if in the peasant class. 7y
