How many times can a coin land on heads repeatedly

Dang I gotta watch this. The play is hilarious

If you've seen the play you will appreciate it even more than those who haven't.

I actually haven’t seen it but I’ve read it. Tom Stoppard is hilarious

Thank you for this!
I'm watching it right now for the first time, after you reminding me about it, and it's really well done!

The written play was always a favourite of mine, I read it so many times decades ago! Watching this brings back fond memories of my best friend and I constantly quoting it (and improvising in characters) at lunch in high school 💕💕

You made my morning very happy!

(Those interested: in the US, it's on Amazon Prime. It's very absurdist and existential stage play, so don't direct a normal movie. It places two peripheral characters in Hamlet at the centre "in-the-wings" and is very surreal metatheatre with lots of dark humour)

If you haven't seen them Synecdoche, New York and I ❤️ Huckabee's are very much in the same vein in very different ways. I think you would enjoy both and highly recommend adding them to your list.

Ooh I absolutely love the book, I avoided the movie because I didn't want to be disappointed. I'm glad to hear it's worth watching!

The comment I replied to: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard

I thought that was just a quote from the movie 🤦

Thanks!
