During the January 2021 lockdown, two out-of-work actors, stuck at home, deep dive into the world of Grand Theft Auto (GTA)—a video game famous for its violence but equally admired for its intricate design. From their boredom and creativity springs an unlikely idea: to stage a full production of Hamlet within the game.
This documentary charts their ridiculous, hilarious and moving adventure as they battle violent griefers and discover surprising truths about life, friendship and the enduring power of Shakespeare.
