Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, written in the 1960s by playwright Tom Stoppard, is a transformation of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Stoppard effectively relocates Shakespeare's work to the 1960s by re-evaluating and re-evaluating Hamlet's themes and characters and considering the core values ​​and attitudes of the 1960s, a significantly different period from Shakespeare's.
