The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Grand Theft Hamlet

This feature documentary follows two out of work actors - as all UK entertainment venues have been closed during the pandemic lockdown - who attempt the impossible task of delivering a full production of Shakespeare's Hamlet, inside the online world of Grand Theft Auto 5.

Shot entirely in game, this film charts their adventure as they discover surprising truths about life, friendship, and the lasting power of Shakespeare.
