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anniversary of the play's first performance, this definitive edition includes a new introduction and previously unpublished ancillary material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Stoppard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802126219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802126214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Tom Stoppard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053898952959,"sku":"9780802126214","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37c2d556-2085-488f-9348-38716e17e538.jpg?v=1685026869","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rosencrantz-and-guildenstern-are-dead-tom-stoppard-9780802126214","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
