Sam Crane and Mark Oosterveen, actors out of work during the pandemic, were playing Grand Theft Auto when they found the Pinewood

During the pandemic, two out-of-work actors decided to mount a Shakespeare adaptation within the blocky, sun-kissed world of ‘Grand Theft Auto’. Now their unexpectedly touching story has been brought to life in a new documentary,

One of Shakespeare's famous tragedies, the story follows Prince Hamlet, who is encouraged by his father's ghost to avenge his death by killing his uncle, the usurper of the throne. The actors' attempt to bring theatre to the gaming world inspired Crane's wife, film-maker Pinny Grylls, to create a documentary called Grand Theft Hamlet.
