In 1967 he dove into the world's most famous play, Hamlet & retold it from the point of view of two bumbling support players. The entire world is a stage & Rosencrantz & Guildenstern play their part, finding themselves unwitting pawns in history's greatest tragedy.
This contemporary classic of the theater was the winner of both the Tony & NY Drama Critics Circle awards when it premiered. Simply: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are the school chums of Shakespeare's Hamlet & this is the story of what "really" happened behind the scenes. What were they doing there in Elsinore anyway? The Players come & go; Hamlet comes through reading words, words, words; foul deeds are done; Hamlet is sent abroad, escapes death; and in turn Rosencrantz and Guildenstern find their only true exit.
