Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead

Two minor characters from the play Hamlet, Rosencrantz + Guildenstern, are unaware of their scripted lives and are unable to deviate from them. Will Rosencrantz + Guildenstern (or Guildenstern + Rosencrantz) manage to discover the source of Hamlet's malaise as requested by the new king? Are the answers as important as the questions? Will the mysterious players who are strolling around the castle reveal the secrets they evidently know? Can we ever really know what's going on? And whose serve is it?
