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