The Life and Undead of King Henry V

The zombies are deliciously fun, but the real surprises here are that the language is all Shakespeare, and the story makes good sense: King Henry IV’s usurpation of the British throne has brought about the zombie apocalypse. With an outstanding Falstaff in Jeffrey Lloyd Heatherly and a fantastic Prince Hal/Henry V in Ryan Snyder, director Brian Harrower has made the Bard a walking-dead delight. Th, F, Sa 8pm; Su 2:30pm. Through 7/28. $10-$15. Big Idea Theatre, 1616 Del Paso Blvd.; (916) 960-3036; www.bigideatheatre.net.
