	Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is a humorous, absurdist, tragic and existentialist play by Tom Stoppard, first staged in 1966.
		The play concerns the misadventures and musings of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters from William Shakespeare's Hamlet who are friends of the Prince, focusing on their actions while the events of Hamlet occur as background.
		Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead is structured as the inverse of Hamlet; the title characters are the leads, not minor players, and Hamlet himself has only a small part.

		Guildenstern thinks that there are four possible explanations; that time has stopped, that it is his subconscious, that it is divine, or that it is one of the stranger sides of the law of probability.
		The corpses are Polonius, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Ophelia, Laetres, Gertrude, Claudius and Hamlet.
		Rosencrantz summarises for his own benefit; their bosom friend Hamlet is "drawn on to pleasures", ie a paly, which due to unforeseen circumstances is a debacle, and due to unforeseen emotions, Hamlet becomes a murderer, and thus they take him to England to be killed.

		Tom Stoppard's play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" is the most famous modern example of a tour de force in which the action in "Hamlet" is viewed through the eyes of two of the bit players, Hamlet's college friends, who accompany him on his trip to England.
		As a play, "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern" is fascinating; we use our knowledge of "Hamlet" to piece together the half-glimpsed, incomplete actions of the major players, whose famous scenes we see a line or a moment at a time.
		The most memorable performance in "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern" is the one by Richard Dreyfuss, as the leading player of the visiting troupe, and he becomes memorable in the time-honored way, by stealing his scenes.
