Lightning and Plautus are tortoises featured in a play by this man. Hannah Jarvis researches Sidley Park while Septimus Hodge tutors Thomasina Coverly in this writer's play about entropy, Arcadia. Another of his plays opens with two characters "passing time in a place with no visible character" by coin-flipping. The Player is stabbed with a retractable knife in that play, which features two characters "within un-, sub- or supernatural forces" that force them to die. For 10 points, name this absurdist playwright who plucked two characters out of Hamlet to write Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.
