Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
by
Description: Hamlet told from the worm's-eye view of two minor characters, bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Echoes of Waiting for Godot resound, reality and illusion mix, and where fate leads heroes to a tragic but inevitable end.
A revisit via youtube:
Youtube is handy but in this case I crave the DVD to play on the eight foot screen.

I seem remember play went on forever...

I refuse to watch hamlet....it bores the pants off me. :)
A great riff on the greatest of English drama and lit. One of the few works that I think the film version is worth taking seriously in its own form.
Hamlet boring?.....Get thee to a nunnery.....

Saw the film years ago but have the DVD waiting for a revisit.
What a cast - too good to make do with fractured youtube version so I shall bide my time and wait for the quality version.:O)
