“All the world's a stage....” and apparently, all worlds have stages. The documentary, Grand Theft Hamlet, from Sam Crane, Pinny Grylls and Mark Oosterveen drops into the fictional world of Los Santos, a city in Rockstar’s online game Grand Theft Auto. (GTA). This is a flexible open world gaming platform, which allows for innovativeness and customization of the gamer's individual goals and missions. The overarching theme of the game is accomplishment through criminal activities, setting the environment for constant destruction caused by car chases, murder and explosions. The culture is to shoot first and never ask questions. Missile launchers and guns are the prerequisite props. Staying alive is a challenge. What a great place to stage Shakespeare's play Hamlet. A play of ambition, murder and retribution. During one of the covid lockdowns, actors Sam Crane and Mark Oosterveen find themselves exploring this online world, trying to avoid being killed. During a small break in the action, they discover a huge outdoor amphitheatre. As actors the first thought is to stage a play and what better play than Hamlet. They enlist Pinny Grylls' help with the production, by documenting the process of auditioning, rehearsing and staging the play. Everything is shot entirely within the game. The team is constantly challenged to find avatars who are willing to audition, without anyone being killed before they have introduced themselves and explained the mission. Then to try to keep all the characters alive and sets intact while they are auditioning, rehearsing and staging the play. The whole process of casting and staging is a hilarious entertaining romp, with wonderful avatars popping in an out of their space within the gameplay. The organising of the participating gamers who are otherwise occupied with their day-to-day duties at home during lock down and the murderous nature of the game make this production even more remarkable. The production team was presented with the Stage Innovation Award 2023 (awards recognising excellence in British theatre), Winner Athens Digital Arts festival best video art 2021, Winner Milan Machinima Festival Critic's award. Although this is not about GTA, I can't help but wonder about what is next? Macbeth?
