Synopsis
Isolated during the pandemic and searching for purpose, two out-of-work actors - Sam Crane and Mark Oosterveen - came up with the idea to stage Shakespeare’s Hamlet within the world of Grand Theft Auto Online. With the entire film shown as in-game GTA action, they experiment merging classical theatre with a chaotic and violent digital landscape.
