Grand Theft Hamlet is now streaming exclusively on MUBI worldwide.
Grand Theft Hamlet (2024) tells the radical tale of a band of artists who stage a virtual production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet inside the online video game Grand Theft Auto. But it’s hardly the first time filmmakers have messed with Shakespeare’s great Dane.
Host Rico Gagliano learns the history of Hamlet on screen, with help from the movie’s cocreators, Pinny Grylls and Sam Crane, director Michael Almereyda (Hamlet, 2000), and Rico’s own playwright father.
