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anniversary of the play's first performance, this definitive edition includes a new introduction and previously unpublished ancillary material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Stoppard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802126214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e50th Anniversary Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ripon Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44150098657325,"sku":"9780802126214","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/0501\/1245\/files\/img_2b5c66f2-4a31-43c7-b8db-f6e5094f6cf2.jpg?v=1757310777","url":"https:\/\/riponbookstore.com\/products\/rosencrantz-and-guildenstern-are-dead-9780802126214","provider":"Ripon Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
