rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead

In some respects, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead is a play about nothing—I mean, we all already read Hamlet and we all know what happens to Rosencrantz & Guildenstern, so really what could this play be about?
I think this play is about what minor characters of a major play do while they aren't on screen. I also think it's about plays in general and how they create new worlds and perspectives.
So, really, what is this play all about?
Two minor characters in Hamlet and what they do when they're not on stage.
