* HypocriticalHumour: After Guildenstern has expressed his disappointment that the Player's audience-participation shows are pornographic, bordering on sex work, Rosencrantz sidles up to the Player and asks what he'd do for one coin. When the Player isn't interested, Rosencrantz is instantly even more outraged that Guildenstern, shouting "Filth!" at him.

** At least one production was presented back to back with ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' - ''Hamlet'' ran for a few weeks first with ''Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead'' being the next play at the theatre. With the same cast. In the same roles. With the 'Shakespeare' scenes staged exactly the same way.
** Sometimes in the late 80s, the Stratford, Ontario Shakespeare Festival ran ''Hamlet'' and ''Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead'' on alternate nights with the same cast. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's entrance in ''Hamlet'' had them flipping a coin.

* WilliamFakespeare: The eponymous characters have a lot of interaction with the Player (King) that Hamlet hires, and Stoppard's play clearly uses him as part of its overall parody of ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' specifically, as well as Shakespeare generally, and in some productions, he looks like a very seedy William Shakespeare). Shakespeare's use of of male actors to play female characters as well as his plays' frequent HoYay is represented by the Player's use of Alfred, a young actor who he frequently sexually harasses. Not only does Alfred function as both MsFanservice and MrFanservice in the Player's plays, but the Player prostitutes him to earn extra funds. Additionally, Stoppard satirizes the violent nature of Shakespeare's tragedies with a quote from the Player about the type of plays his troop performs (despite the fact that Shakespeare wrote a lot of comedies and romances that all had happy endings):

* AdaptationalVillainy: Interestingly, the play that brought the pair into the mainstream also removes any implication that they're just innocent victims sent to their deaths by someone they thought was a friend. Unlike in the original play, where there's no indication they're in on Claudius's plot to send them to England with orders to execute Hamlet on the spot, in the play they ''do'' know... but [[ExtremeDoormat decide to do nothing about it to save Hamlet's life]], in the process [[KarmicDeath sealing their own]].
