Eddie Izzard: Shakespeare’s Hamlet

Following a triple-extended New York run, a box office record-breaking two-week run at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, and a six-week London run—which Dame Judi Dench called ‘Spectacular’—Tony Award-nominated Eddie Izzard brings her acclaimed solo performance of Hamlet to the UK!

Nominated for New York’s: Drama League’s Distinguished Performance Award and Outer Critic’s Circle Outstanding Solo Performance Award.

Akin to the original performances of HAMLET, Eddie will perform on the blank canvas of a bare stage, letting Shakespeare’s words and pure storytelling take the spotlight.

The King of Denmark is dead and Prince Hamlet is determined to take revenge, initiating a cascade of events that will destroy both family and state. Eddie will be portraying men, women, ghosts, scholars, tyrants, courtiers, lovers, fools and poets. She says:

“I have always gravitated towards playing complex and challenging characters and Hamlet is the ultimate. This is a production for everyone, a timeless drama with an accidental hero. Selina, Mark and I want audiences to see and hear an accessible, touching, scary and dramatic Hamlet.”

Adapted by Mark Izzard and directed by Selina Cadell

Presented by Mick Perrin Worldwide Ltd in association with PBJ Management

This production is true to the text of Shakespeare and for ages 9 to 90.
