The bubbling brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie (Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis), who stand in for Hamlets moronic chums Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, are hired as quality inspectors in an industrial brewery. The beer factory just like the kingdom in Hamlet is under the control of the power-mad brother of its mysteriously murdered former ruler. There are some small differences, of course. In this case, the villain plans to use subliminal messages in beer ads to take over the world, and the Hamlet character is a mumbling hockey player who suffered a career-ending nervous breakdown. 11:55 p.m. today and tomorrow. Landmark River Oaks Theatre, 2009 West Gray. For tickets and information, call 7138668881 or visit www.landmarktheatres.com. $6 to $9.
