Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead

The two minor characters from Hamlet take center stage in this absurdist hijacking of the Shakespearean classic. Rosencrantz (Jeffrey Lloyd Heatherly) and Guildenstern (Kristine David) try to reason their way out of the conundrum of Hamlet’s plot in hilarious and heart-rending fashion. F, Sa 8pm, Su 2:30pm. Through 5/9. Big Idea Theatre, 1616 Del Paso Blvd.; (916) 960-3036; www.bigideatheatre.com.
