British playwright Tom Stoppard, who won an Oscar for the screenplay of the 1998 film "Shakespeare In Love", has died at the age of 88, United Agents announced on Saturday. Stoppard, who first made his name with "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" – an absurdist tragicomedy about two minor characters from Shakespeare’s "Hamlet" – developed a distinctive style combining serious ideas with comedy.
