Hamlet na kvadrat

Slovenski opis filma:

Dana Marschz je neuspešni igralec in bivši alkoholik, ki se z ženo preseli v Tucson, kjer se zaposli kot srednješolski dramski učitelj. Poleg finančnih težav, ki jih imata z ženo, ga začnejo mučiti tudi pomanjkljivosti, ki jih ima kot učitelj, obenem pa mu niso po godu kritike, ki jih je deležen za svoje srednješolske predstave. Obupan in brez pravega navdiha se Dana odloči na oder postaviti lastno dramo, nekakšen drugi del Shakespearjevega Hamleta, s katero bi sebi in drugim dokazal, da je sposoben narediti všečno in vrhunsko umetniško delo. Mu bo končno uspelo?

Originalni opis filma:

Dana Marschz is a failed actor and recovering alcoholic who's moved to Tucson to teach high school drama, where he's plagued by bad reviews, student indifference, budget woes (he and his wife, who is trying to get pregnant, take in a boarder), and his own teaching limitations. Because the other electives are closed, he finds himself with a large class of seeming gang-bangers, and the principal informs him that drama will be cut next trimester. On the advice of a student reviewer, Dana decides to stage his own play, a sequel to "Hamlet" in which the prince and Jesus, with the use of a time machine, try to save Gertrude and Ophelia. Can Dana for once pull something off?
