Hamlet 2
Hamlet 2 is a comedy film about a failed actor turned high school drama teacher who attempts to motivate his students by writing and producing a sequel to William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
When bit actor Dana Marschz hits a bump in the road on his way to stardom he turns to teaching as his fall back plan. Marschz becomes the drama instructor at an Arizona high school. A failed career, apathetic students, and the mounting threat that his department will be shut down, give Marschz the impetus he needs to follow his dream: writing an edgy politically incorrect squeal to Hamlet.
