As a longtime GTA roleplayer, this documentary about actors putting on Hamlet inside GTA Online made me laugh, cry, and wholeheartedly regret ever calling Shakespeare a boring old bastard

Grand Theft Hamlet is a masterpiece. On one hand, the in-game feature documentary that culminates in an unexpectedly moving rendition of one of literature's most acclaimed tragedies perfectly captures the boundless possibilities of videogames.
