ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, or is it Guildencrantz and Rosenstern, are Shakespeare's Tweedledee and Tweedledum and Tom Stoppard's hapless heroes. Buffeted about in the maelstrom of emotions and events at Elsinore. they are pulled out of their niches to do they know not what, nor to what purpose.
