Preview Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
TOM STOPPARD was catapulted into the front ranks of modern playwrights overnight when Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead opened in London in 1967. Its subsequent run in New York brought it the same enthusiastic acclaim, and the play has since been performed numerous times in the major theatrical centers of the world. It has won top honors for a play and playwright in a poll of London Theater critics, and in its printed form it was chosen one of the "Notable Books of 1967" by the American Library Association. "Stoppard is the master comedian of ideas in the English language; Jack Kroll said about him in Newsweek. Each of his stage works has confirmed this view. Theatergoers have been able to admire his wit and thrill to his command of the English language in jumpers, The Real Inspector Hound, Travesties, Enter A Free Man, After Magritte, and Dirty Linen and New-Found-Land. He is also the author of the novel Lord Malquist and Mr. Moon.
