Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1990)

Tell me why I can’t stop thinking about them

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

“yes, I’ve been wanting to read that!” I say with complete earnestness, as I proceed to ignore every opportunity I have to read it

[pelahnar]

“I’ve been meaning to read/watch/listen to that, but the stars are not in position, so I can’t do it yet”

If you're a new writer and you're asking yourself "is this too personal, is this too much, will people think this is weird" that feeling is the exact location of your actual voice. The stuff that makes you want to close the laptop is the stuff nobody else could write. The safe version is always worse. Always. I have never once read something and thought "this would have been better if it was a little less honest." go further. It's always go further.

stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.

[ID: Ros puts a hand into his purse, then both hands behind his back, then holds his fists out. Guil taps one fist. Ros opens it to show a coin. He gives it to Guil. He puts his hand back into his purse. Then both hands behind his back, then holds his fists out. Guil taps one. Ros opens it to show a coin. He gives it to Guil. Repeat. Repeat. Guil getting tense. Desperate to lose. Repeat. Guil taps a hand, changes his mind, taps the other, and Ros inadvertently reveals that he has a coin in both fists.

Guil: You had money in both hands.

Ros: (embarassed) Yes.

Guil: Every time?

Ros: Yes.

Guil: What’s the point of that?

Ros: (pathetic) I wanted to make you happy.]

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Tom Stoppard. Theatre Royal Haymarket, London. 28 July 2011.

Rosencrantz: Samuel Barnett. Guildenstern: Jamie Parker.

ROS: Who was that? GUIL: Didn’t you know him? ROS: He didn’t know me. GUIL: He didn’t see you. ROS: I didn’t see him. GUIL: We shall see. I hardly knew him, he’s changed. ROS: You could see that? GUIL: Transformed. ROS: How do you know? GUIL: Inside and out. ROS: I see. GUIL: He’s not himself.  ROS: He’s changed. GUIL: I could see that. Glean what afflicts him. ROS: Me? GUIL: Him. ROS: How? GUIL: Question and answer. Old ways are the best ways. ROS: He’s afflicted. GUIL: You question, I’ll answer. ROS: He’s not himself, you know. GUIL: I’m him, you see. ROS: Who am I then? GUIL: You’re yourself. ROS: And he’s you? GUIL: Not a bit of it. ROS: Are you afflicted? GUIL: That’s the idea. Are you ready? ROS: Let’s go back a bit. GUIL: I’m afflicted. ROS: I see. GUIL: Glean what afflicts me. ROS: Right. GUIL: Question and answer. ROS: How should I begin? GUIL: Address me. ROS: My dear Guildenstern. GUIL: You’ve forgotten, haven’t you? ROS: My dear Rosencrantz. GUIL: I don’t think you quite understand. What we are attempting is a hypothesis in which I answer for him, while you ask me questions. ROS: Ah! Ready? GUIL: You know what to do? ROS: What? GUIL: Are you stupid? ROS: Pardon? GUIL: Are you deaf? ROS: Did you speak? GUIL: Not now— ROS: Statement. GUIL: Not now!

I need to know about the muppets Rosencrantz and Guilderstern are dead!!!

Okay, so, the big problem is doing a film adaptation of Rosencrantz and Guilderstern are Dead is that the fourth wall breaks simply work better on stage than they do on film. Much of the play happens on what we would consider “off stage” with Rosencrantz and Guilderstern filling up time waiting for their cue.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve got a soft spot for the film adaptation, but it’s clear that Tom Stoppard is a better writer than he is film director. Everything is staged rather stiffly and there is a neglect of certain film language he could be utilizing to replicate the meta aspects of the stage production. Now what company of players have made jumping rope with the fourth wall an art form? Enter, The Muppets.

Now the big thing that gonna make this work is treat it as if the Muppets are doing their own version of Hamlet and cast accordingly. Miss Piggy as Gertrude, Fozzie is Polonius, big celebrity as Hamlet and most importantly Gonzo as Rosencrantz and Rizzo and Guilderstern.

Have them clearly on set and shot exactly how like it would shot in the play for their scenes (including Muppet appropriate jokes), but when they’re “off screen” switch to an almost candid camera and have them switch almost entirely to Stoppard’s words with minimal to no Muppet gags to emphasize that this is them when the cameras aren’t rolling.

And here’s the big kicker, cast Frank Oz as The Player and the rest of the Tragedians as the actual puppeteers. Full faces, everything.

Are you starting to see it? All of these actors playing roles within roles, stuck in a loop and trying to find some meaning in all of it. Examining the Muppets themselves as both the characters they are and the people we so often think of them as truly being.

And, most important of all, Gonzo the Great performing the “In a Box” speech.

TLDR: The Muppets are the only troop I trust to make an interesting and loyal Rosencrantz and Guilderstern Are Dead adaptation.

TIME LOOPS ARE FOR LOVERS

[mothfrogshroom]

Yo, anyone wanna get stuck in an inescapable time loop with me? Where I pick up a coin and flip 109 heads in a row, and there must have been a moment in the beginning, where we could have said no. But somehow we missed it, oh well, we’ll know better next time. And we are on a boat. Or we’re not on a boat. Or we are not, not on a boat. We are not.
