An absurdist, existentialist tragicomedy, play by Tom Stoppard that expands upon the exploits of two minor characters from Shakespeare’s Hamlet - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
Between episodes taking place mainly “in the wings” of Shakespeare’s play, the two protagonists voice their confusion at the progress of events of which—occurring onstage without them in Hamlet—they have no direct knowledge.
