“To be or not to be” in a virtual reality mid-pandemic? Fantastic.
In January of 2021, London actors Sam Crane and Mark Oosterveen were extremely out of work. Like all of us, they were in lockdown and going a little stir crazy. They start killing time in. After finding an empty outdoor amphitheater in the game, they decide to stage a production of Hamlet. This is, as you might expect, a little harder than it sounds – especially when every third person you meet in the game is trying to kill you, possibly with a grenade launcher. Or a fighter jet.
Soon, a small band of folks from around the world decide to aid Crane and crew, including an actor pal who would make a terrific lead, ParTeb, a Tunisian fellow skinned as a naked alien with an impressive behind, and a few Americans. They have to make time to cast, rehearse, and execute the play not to mention the fact that, oh yeah, real life is also a thing to deal with. , but the film is also exceptionally moving.
