Acclaimed as a modern dramatic masterpiece, this play 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. 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.
