Question: rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead ending?
Answer: The stage goes dark, leaving Guil and Ros side by side in the dark (not too different from the beginning). Ros disappears, and then so does Guil. Then the lights go up on the closing scene from Shakespeare's Hamlet. The ambassador announces that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead, and Horatio makes his final speech.
