Failed actor-turned-worse-high-school-drama-teacher Dana Marschz rallies his Tucson students as he conceives and stages a politically incorrect musical sequel to Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Acting
Steve Coogan commits to complete humiliation with terrifying dedication.
Writing
"Rock Me Sexy Jesus" exists and is somehow not the weirdest part.
Practical Effects
The actual Hamlet 2 musical numbers are unhinged practical productions.

Director
Andrew Fleming
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Andrew Fleming based Dana partly on an actual high school drama teacher who staged bizarre original musicals, including one about a rabies epidemic.
The Elisabeth Shue cameo—playing herself as a disillusioned nurse who left acting—was entirely improvised after Coogan accidentally ran into her at a party.
