"Look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else": Rare First Edition of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead; Signed By Academy Award-Winning Actor Gary Oldman
STOPPARD, Tom. [Gary Oldman].
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead.
London: Faber & Faber, 1967.
First paperback edition (issued simultaneously in hardback) of the author's masterpiece. Octavo, original wrappers. Boldly signed by Academy Award-winning actor Gary Oldman on the front free endpaper. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (1990) is the sole directorial effort of Sir Tom Stoppard, who adapted his own celebrated 1966 absurdist play for the screen, reasoning, as he put it, that he would be the only person who could treat the play with the necessary disrespect. At the center of the film is a pairing of two of the most electrifying screen actors of their generation: Gary Oldman — who would later win the Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour (2018) — plays Rosencrantz with a quality of baffled, good-natured bewilderment perfectly suited to Stoppard's tragicomic design, opposite Tim Roth's more anxiously philosophical Guildenstern, with Richard Dreyfuss rounding out the principal cast as the grandiloquent Player. Oldman received a nomination for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead for his performance. The film won the Golden Lion at the 47th Venice International Film Festival — the highest prize in one of the world's most prestigious film competitions. In very good condition.
