OM AFTENENS FILM (English below)

To arbejdsløse venner får en frisk idé: De vil opføre Shakespeares ‘Hamlet’ i Grand Theft Auto. Men selv i en virtuel verden bryder virkeligheden ind i en vild og trippet film, der udelukkende er filmet inde i det ultra-voldelige computerspil.

For de arbejdsløse skuespillere Sam og Mark ser fremtiden dyster ud. Storbritannien befinder sig i sit tredje lockdown, og teatrene er fortsat lukkede. De fordriver tiden med at stjæle biler og skyde fremmede i Grand Theft Auto. Men da de ved et tilfælde opdager et amfiteater i computerspillet, får de en idé. Hvad med at opføre William Shakespeares ‘Hamlet’ inde i GTA?

De begynder at caste andre onlinespillere til rollerne og øve scenerne, men bliver mødt af utallige udfordringer. Det viser sig at være næsten umuligt at recitere Shakespeares udødelige klassiker (som foregår på Kronborg!) i det ugæstfri univers uden at blive skudt i småstykker eller jagtet af politiet. Bag galgenhumoren og den tykke, britiske selvironi løber en understrøm af bekymringer. Opsætningen af ‘Hamlet’ bliver de to venners ét og alt i en svær tid, hvor Mark bor alene og bliver mere og mere ensom, mens Sam er ved at gå i panik over, hvordan han skal forsørge sin familie.

‘Der er noget råddent i Danmark’, men i GTAs surrealistiske udgave af Helsingør kan lykken alligevel hurtigt vende.

ABOUT TONIGHT'S FILM

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.

For unemployed actors Sam and Mark, the future looks bleak. Britain is in its third lockdown and theatres remain closed. They pass the time by stealing cars and shooting strangers in Grand Theft Auto. But when they accidentally discover an amphitheatre in the game, they have a bright idea. How about performing William Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' inside GTA?

They start casting other online gamers for the roles and rehearse the scenes, but are met with countless challenges. It proves nearly impossible to recite Shakespeare's immortal classic (which is set in Denmark) in the inhospitable universe without being shot to pieces or chased by the police. Behind the thick layers of British humour runs a deep undercurrent of anxiety. The production of 'Hamlet' becomes the two friends' all-consuming project at a difficult time where Mark is growing increasingly lonely, while Sam is panicking about how to provide for his family.

'There's something rotten in Denmark', but in GTA's surrealist version of Elsinore, fortunes can change quickly.
