Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, two out-of-work actors, Sam and Mark, face a bleak future. Desperate for purpose, they come up with an idea: stage Shakespeare’s Hamlet in the ultra-violent world of Grand Theft Auto Online. Filmed entirely in-game, GRAND THEFT HAMLET explores their attempt to merge classical theatre with a chaotic digital landscape. With stunning visuals and unexpected moments of reflection, this engaging documentary examines how old cultural narratives can still resonate in new virtual spaces, raising questions about art, isolation, and the digital world’s potential for storytelling.
