A new, beautiful updated edition of Tom Stoppard’s best-loved play and one of Grove Atlantic’s bestselling backlist titles, published with a new introduction by Tom Stoppard to coincide with the 50th anniversary of its debut Rosencrantz 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 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  Waiting for Godot  resound, where reality and illusion intermix, and where fate leads our two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end.
