Acclaimed as a modern masterpiece, it is the fabulously inventive tale of \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eWaiting for Godot\u003c\/i\u003e 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anniversary of the play's first performance, this definitive edition includes a new introduction and previously unpublished ancillary material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0802126219\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780802126214\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Stoppard, Tom, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Apr 2017)","offer_id":45657269764293,"sku":"9780802126214","price":20.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780802126214.jpg?v=1768890046","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/rosencrantz-and-guildenstern-are-dead","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
