An image of GTA avatars created by Dipo Ola, Gareth Turkington, Pinny Grylls, ParTebMosMir, and Sam Crane standing around a limo, with the text “Spanning from the lock-downs of early 2021 until their online performance in summer 2022, Grand Theft Hamlet follows Crane, Oosterveen, and Pinny Grylls (documentary maker, co-director, and Crane's partner) as they cast, direct, and stage Hamlet in the surreal, chaotic sprawl of Los Santos, GTA's glittering, gun-riddled vision of Los Angeles.” over an orange background with the SB logo.
