January 2021. The UK is in its 3rd lockdown and all entertainment venues remain closed. For theatre actors Sam and Mark, the future looks bleak.

As the pandemic drags on, Mark – single and childless – is increasingly socially isolated, while Sam panics about how he is going to support his young family. They spend their days in the online digital world of Grand Theft Auto and when they stumble across a theatre they suddenly have an idea to stage a full production of Hamlet – within the game.

This film charts their ridiculous, hilarious and moving adventure as they battle violent griefers out to kill them in-game, and discover some surprising truths about life, friendship and the enduring power of Shakespeare.

“A brilliant idea, brilliantly executed; hilarious, surreal and, yes, in its weird way, genuinely exciting” Guardian ★★★★★
