This play is a little difficult if you're not used to reading plays. It's also probably a little hard if you aren't familiar with Hamlet. You can still probably get enjoyment from it, but not on the level of KNOWING.
It was certainly an original idea, and somehow managed to merge comedy rhetoric similar to Abbott and Costello, and a hopeless, nihlistic theme.
One of my favorite aspects is how every character mixes up Rosencrantz and Gulidenstern with each other (even Rosencrantz and Guildenstern can't keep themselves straight!)
It was clearly written, and reading it you can visualize the action as it's happening. I would love to see this on stage.
