GRAND THEFT HAMLET

During the Covid lockdown, actors Sam and Mark spend their time in the virtual world of Grand Theft Auto. When they discover a theatre there, they have a brilliant idea: why not stage Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” in this virus-free environment? But that’s not so easy in a world that’s more about killing people than high culture. But they actually find fellow actors who believe in their vision. A surprisingly moving film that was actually “shot” entirely in the computer game.
