Plots(1)
ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDERNSTERN ARE DEAD is based on Tom Stoppard's play. It's the inventive tale of Hamlet as told from the viewpoint of two of the work's supporting, but certainly more outrageous characters. In this cleverly inspired version, however, the Shakespearean equivalents of Laurel and Hardy get a chance to take the lead roles in a dazzling setting where illusion and reality overlap!
