Grand Theft Hamlet (2024)

January 2021, the UK has just entered its third lockdown and all cinemas are closed. For actors Sam and Mark the future looks bleak, but they channel the isolation and frustrations of middle age into the virtual world of Grand Theft Auto Online. After stumbling upon a theater, they devise the idea of performing Hamlet inside the video game, rethinking whether it's the right place to do it considering that Shakespeare's times were just as dangerous and that Hamlet is a play about revenge. A documentary recorded entirely within the videogame, where the combination suggests a parody or adaptation that mixes elements of the classic play with modern themes, reimagining the Shakespearean drama.
