Description
Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2017, Tom Stoppard's witty and exhilarating play is repackaged as a stylish Faber Modern Classic.
Tom Stoppard's reputation as a playwright was made when his dazzling debut, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, opened at the National Theatre.
Fifty years later, the play's wit, stagecraft and verbal verve remain as exhilarating as they were in 1967 as the two ill-fated attendant lords from Shakespeare's Hamlet take centre stage, musing on the purpose of existence and its end.
This new edition was published to coincide with a 50th anniversary production at the Old Vic Theatre, London, and contains a new preface by the author.
Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2017, the seminal Tom Stoppard play is repackaged as a stylish Faber Modern Classic.
