The UK is in its 3rd lockdown and all entertainment venues remain closed. For theatre actors Sam and Mark, the future looks bleak. As the pandemic drags on, Mark &#8211; single and childless &#8211; is increasingly socially isolated, while Sam panics about how he is going to support his young family. They spend their days in the online digital world of Grand Theft Auto and when they stumble across a theater, they suddenly have an idea to stage a full production of Hamlet within the game. This film charts their ridiculous, hilarious and moving adventure as they battle violent griefers and discover surprising truths about life, friendship and the enduring power of Shakespeare.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Film Screenings<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Grand Theft Hamlet at Alamo Lamar 5<br \/>\nMar 10, 2024 at 11:45am\u20141:14pm<\/li>\n<li>Grand Theft Hamlet at Rollins Theatre at The Long Center<br \/>\nMar 12, 2024 at 11:30am\u201412:59pm<\/li>\n<li>Grand Theft Hamlet at Alamo Lamar 9<br \/>\nMar 13, 2024 at 10:00pm\u201411:29pm<\/li>\n<li>Grand Theft Hamlet at Alamo Lamar 3<br \/>\nMar 13, 2024 at 10:30pm\u201411:59pm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Credits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Directors: Pinny Grylls, Sam Crane<br \/>\nExecutive Producer: Beth Levison, Harlene Freezer, Sam Bisbee, Eric Kuhn<br \/>\nProducer: Rebecca Wolff, Julia Ton<br \/>\nScreenwriter: Pinny Grylls and Sam Crane<br \/>\nEditor: Pinny Grylls<br \/>\nSound Designer: Jamie Perera<br \/>\nMusic: Jamie Perera<br \/>\nPrincipal Cast: Sam Crane, Mark Oosterveen, Jen Cohn<br \/>\nPublicity Contact: Julia Ton julia@project1961.com +31620083321<br \/>\nSales Agent: Mike Runagall, Altitude Film Sales<\/p>\n<p>SXSW schedule: <a href=\"https:\/\/schedule.sxsw.com\/2024\/films\/2196843\">https:\/\/schedule.sxsw.com\/2024\/films\/2196843<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pinny&#8217;s website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinnygrylls.co.uk\/\">https:\/\/www.pinnygrylls.co.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam Crane and Pinny (deaf) from UK are coming for the world premiere of our film Grand Theft Hamlet (which we co-directed), which is very exciting at Austin March 8-14, 2024.
