Prince of Denmark Hill

Synopsis

Prince of Denmark Hill is a contemporary reworking of Hamlet in 11 minutes, set in South London gangland as a fast-moving, stylish black comedy. Revolving around a game of Russian Roulette at the wedding reception of the murderous "king" Bernard, we flash back to the events that brought our hero Keith to this point. Will Keith and Horace's plan to poison Bernard avail? Or will Keith die by his own hand?
