- Guildenstern and Rosencrantz are Dead, by Tom Stoppard. ( link )
Summary:
Two courtiers, friends of the main character from William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" - whose indecision (about whether it is right and sane to murder his uncle for murdering his father, so as to obey a hallucinated request from his dead father) is the crux of the plot of "Hamlet" - argue surreally about probability, existence and death, hardly existing in a surreal abstracted dreamworld where they are fated to be killed anyway by the royal Uncle or Nephew.
