Grand Theft Hamlet
Directed by Sam Crane, Pinny Grylls
Produced by Grasp The Nettle Films, Project 1961
A playful, inventive documentary that stages Shakespeare's darkest tragedy inside a video game, blending meta-theatrical ambition with genuine friendship and creative struggle.
Two unemployed friends have a fresh idea: they want to stage Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' in Grand Theft Auto. But even in a virtual world, reality intrudes in a wild and trippy film shot entirely inside the ultra-violent video game.
