Random Media proudly announces the home entertainment debut of New York-based theater company Roll the Bones’ ambitious and unique film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, with HAMLET IN THE GOLDEN VALE, on DVD, Digital and VOD, beginning October 8, 2019. The production follows a team of actors to a five-hundred-year-old castle in Co. Tipperary, Ireland where—over the course of three weeks—a unique re-telling of Shakespeare’s greatest work emerges. This groundbreaking film tells a story-within-a-story, blurring the lines between the actors and their characters. A new take on the classic tale, HAMLET IN THE GOLDEN VALE is the story of eight actors living in close quarters — immersed in the world of Hamlet.
In addition to the feature, the team also tackled a 360 Virtual Reality experience with production support from theNational Theatre’s ‘Immersive Storytelling Studio’ and presented two onsite immersive performances for the surrounding community. Out of this threefold creative endeavor comes an adaptation that lives at the intersection of, and blurs the lines between, theatre and cinema.
