Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
''Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead'', often referred to as just ''Rosencrantz and Guildenstern'', is an absurdist, existentialist tragicomedy by Tom Stoppard, first staged at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1966.〔("Edinburgh: Cradle of shows that conquered the world" ) ''Independent'' 2 August 2010
〕 The play expands upon the exploits of two minor characters from Shakespeare's ''Hamlet'', the courtiers Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The action of Stoppard's play takes place mainly "in the wings" of Shakespeare's, with brief appearances of major characters from ''Hamlet'' who enact fragments of the original's scenes. Between these episodes the two protagonists voice their confusion at the progress of events of which—occurring onstage without them in ''Hamlet''—they have no direct knowledge.
==Sources==
The main source of ''Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead'' is Shakespeare's ''Hamlet''. Comparisons have also been drawn with Samuel Beckett's ''Waiting for Godot'', for the presence of two central characters who almost appear to be two halves of a single character. Many plot features are similar as well: the characters pass time by playing Questions, impersonating other characters, and interrupting each other or remaining silent for long periods of time.
