RGAD!!! Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, by Tom Stoppard is a ridiculously well written play. The word play, ironies, clever phrases truly make this play a shakespeare success. For example, on page 65...
Player: We already have an entry here. And always have had.
Guil: You've played for him before?
Player: Yes, sir.
Ros: And what's his bent?
Player: Classical.
Ros: Saucy!
This section of the play here was one of the funnier examples that were present throughout the entire play. When the player answers Rosencrantz about what type of music he likes, Ros replies in a very awkward manner. "Saucy," is most likely a substitution for the word "sexy." But how is this "sexy?" I guess that's part of the joke. But Stoppard's use of such hilarious examples make this play a phenomenon. I don't believe this could be a success without all the sex references. I mean... What fun is it if there's no sex? (not to be perverted in any way...) I can guarantee that Mrs. clinch would agree, Right Mrs. Clinch? But I'm excited to continue reading this play and hope to even possibly use this play for the AP exam next thursday. LET'S GET A 5!!!
