All I do with this play is make comparisons to Waiting For Godot with it and also think that it's overly long. The movie version with Gary Oldman and Tim Roth is pretty decent, especially the tennis scene, I guess. It's still too long.

It's an ok movie if you are a Shakespeare nerd. Hard to follow if you don't know Hamlet intimately. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100519/

I was playing Guildensern in R&GAD when my wife first saw me! It's how we met! So I had washed out of my filmmaking ambitions after a disastrously conceived (by me) documentary shot in Albania. I moved to a logging community in northern California where my alarming drinking problem instantly got downgraded to adorable by local comparison. I worked at the supermarket deli, BBQed outside six months out of the year. So one day a guy I'd never seen before in overalls is looking for me at the deli and I'm like, "oh crap who did I piss off at the bar last night?" He was directing Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead at the local playhouse and had lost his Gildenstern three months before the debut. Despite having no stage experience whatsoever I had two important qualities: time on my hands and I knew what hamlet was. Rosencrantz was played by the town veterinarian and as "BBQ Dave" I was a bit of a small-town celebrity myself which offset how few people in the town wanted to see a play about a play, when they preferred melodramas. I'm told I did ok. Anyhow that guy in overalls was my wife's stepfather and she came up to see the play. The rest is history. Good play, would love to watch it someday.

I dont really remember much about this i think i had to read it for amodern(ish) british lit class in college and then we also watched the movie. I dont really remember much about thay class it was pretty boring, the thing i remember the most is having to read The French Lieutenant's Woman which was one of the worst books ive ever had to read it was so loving boring and the dude just had the biggest hardon for how much better everything was back in victorian times and everything now sucks there was this one part where the dude bangs the chick and its about like he humps her twice and nuts in her cause he is so horney and then like the dude goes on for like 30 pages about how much better olden days sex like that was cause it was a much bigger deal instead of all these kids these days carrying on and fuggin whenever they like it just kept going on forever. That is my story about a boring class i took 12 years ago where i also read rosencratz and guildenstern are dead

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are FINE and have taken a sabbatical to an undisclosed island resort of their own free will to consider the merits of Xi Jinping Thought, for as long as it takes

I'm pretty sure their entire dialogue from the original Shakespeare play are in the movie, word for word, which a non-Shakespeare viewer isn't going to appreciate. But I guess this is true for pretty much any nerdy kind of reference. For example if you're very familiar with stage plays from the Restoration Era, then you will notice certain things in The Cook, the Theif, His Wife, and Her Lover. (For example, a musical interlude occurs at exactly the half way point of the performance.)

I remember reading this in my senior English class. I absolutely loved that teacher but i don't remember much about the play. I read this summery but nothing rings a bell. https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/rosencrantz/summary/ I remember really liking Grendel which reminds me of this in that it focuses on the non main character showing their perspective.

I don't know about the movie, but the play version uses only a little bit of Hamlet's dialogue, and everything gets explained in modern English, anyway. I don't think you need to "appreciate" that there's some of ye Olde English that's from Shakespeare to like it.
