Heather's Epic Coin Theory ("R&G are Dead")

Prior to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern meeting the players, they had been flipping coins, all of which landed heads. This is impossible and far outside the realm of reality. Also at this time, neither Rosencrantz or Guildenstern can remember past being summoned and neither knows what the heck is going on. Now, right before R & G plunge into the story of Hamlet, Rosencrantz flips the coin for the last time which ends up tails. AHA! I propose that the coin lands heads because they are finally within the realm of their intended story which provides them with meaning and a set of rules. They are no longer wandering around as potential characters, but rather they are real charcters.
