This is a very popular play written in the 1960s. From Shmoop: “The play cleverly re-interprets Shakespeare's Hamlet from the point of view of two minor characters: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The Laurel-and-Hardy-like pair are totally incidental to the action of Hamlet, subject to the whims of the King Claudius – who gets them to betray Hamlet – and then tricked by Hamlet into delivering a letter that condemns them to death.” Interesting though I think I didn’t understand a lot of it. Maybe a second reading is called for.

This was good. I think it fits into Hamlet well and thought the themes were very well done.
May change my rating higher when I have the chance to read it physically or see a live show as I feel some things were lost in the audiobook.
