** As mentioned on the Main page, R&G is occasionally even run back-to-back with ''Hamlet'' by some theatrical companies, who use the same actors for the same characters in each play. And even when they are ''not'' running the plays together, Ros and Guil's appearances in ''Hamlet'' are sometimes staged to include injokes from the Stoppard play -- such as having them enter flipping a coin, or Claudius accidentally calling them by each other's names and being corrected by Gertrude.
