Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead - May 2 - 4 2012

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosencrantz_and_Guildenstern_Are_Dead

This 1966 Tom Stoppard play follows two minor characters from Hamlet.  We will be watching the 1990 film version written and directed by Tom Stoppard himself.  If you miss a class, arrange with me to view whichever portion of the film you need to see during lunch.


Notes and reader reviews of the published play.

We are watching this with the Grade 11 class.  Please go on to read this on-line http://www.samuel-beckett.net/AbsurdEsslin.html, as we will be watching Beckett's Waiting for Godot in another week or so.  The language and concepts will be challenging for you, so your task is to select five passages from this piece of text to bring to a discussion on May 14, 2012
