Acclaimed as a modern dramatic masterpiece, "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" is the fabulously inventive tale of "Hamlet" as told from the worm's-eye view of the bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters in Shakespeare's play. In Tom Stoppard's best-known work, this Shakespearean Laurel and Hardy finally get a chance to take the lead role, but do so in a world where echoes of "Waiting for Godot" resound, where reality and illusion intermix, and where fate leads our two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end.
Dying is not romantic, and death is not a game which will soon be over...Death is not anything..death is not...It's the absence of presence, nothing more...the endless time of never coming back..a gap you can't see, and when the wind blows through it, it makes no sound... (查看原文)
ROS: Nor do I, really.... It's silly to be depressed by it. I mean one thinks of it like beingalive in a box, one keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead ... which should make a difference ... shouldn't it? I mean, you'd never know you were in a box, would you? It would be just like being asleep in a box. Not that I'd like to sleep in a box, mind you, not without any air - you'd wake up dead, for a start and then where would you be? Apart from inside a box. That's the bit I don't like, frankly. That's why I don't think of it....
(GUIL stirs restlessly, pulling his cloak round him.)
Because you'd be helpless, wouldn't you? Stuffed in a box like that, I mean you'd be in there for ever. Even taking into account the fact that you're dead, really ... ask yourself... (查看原文)
Brilliant. 2015 Top 5. «We do on stage the things that are supposed to happen off. Which is a kind of integrity, if you look on every exit being an entrance somewhere else.»
good concept, not that good excecution，主题多有意思啊！小人物对自己人生的无力，死亡的必定到来，但我觉得我不是很能接受这种荒谬的Wordplay，但是比等待戈多还是要好点，至少两个主人公个性分明，Ros跟Guil说自己没主见的时候我还有点被打动，而且最后一幕很加分，没能行动，自己找理由，行动也找理由

在哈姆雷特里等待戈多：无意义，荒诞，恐惧死亡之永在。荒诞剧看多了也大致相同，全篇几近就是一声恐慌的哭嚎，不过借用了各种绝妙语句与戏剧甚至戏中戏场景的方式。因果决定论：抛硬币，生日double赌注，事情导致链，车轮步履不停，人生一台戏；死亡终将来临：我们一切所作所为不过是在船上，戏剧中各种死法，两主角最终还是颤抖着到未知的英国去了。Stoppard爵士竟然提到庄周梦蝶；千百种比喻用于形容生的空虚与死... 在哈姆雷特里等待戈多：无意义，荒诞，恐惧死亡之永在。荒诞剧看多了也大致相同，全篇几近就是一声恐慌的哭嚎，不过借用了各种绝妙语句与戏剧甚至戏中戏场景的方式。因果决定论：抛硬币，生日double赌注，事情导致链，车轮步履不停，人生一台戏；死亡终将来临：我们一切所作所为不过是在船上，戏剧中各种死法，两主角最终还是颤抖着到未知的英国去了。Stoppard爵士竟然提到庄周梦蝶；千百种比喻用于形容生的空虚与死的沉重，独角兽、湿布、秋叶，鲜活的、曲深的、邪秽的，然而其中最美当归烧桥与被烟熏湿的泪眼，至今（十几天了吧）珍记。最后名字消散于悲风，我有点忍受不了了，我为啥要读这样的毒药而非解药呢？万幸的是最大的悲切居然也可以是如此有趣的事情，或者相反吧 (展开)

Is it fate? Or is it a choice? 一个清晨，有人叫我们的名字……一个口信……一个召见……一开始我们肯定有机会能说不的。可不知怎的我们错过了。(他环顾四周，发现只剩自己了)罗森--？吉尔--？(他振作一下)嗯，我们下次得小心点。现在你还看得到我，然后你就--(消失了)
