Synopsis
31 July – 1 August 2026
This production comes directly from her critically acclaimed solo performances of Shakespeare’s HAMLET, which were triple-extended in New York, Chicago, and London.
Nominated for New York’s: Drama League’s Distinguished Performance Award and Outer Critic’s Circle Outstanding Solo Performance Award.
“An impressive sweeping performance.” ★★★★ – The Telegraph
“When it gets to the famous soliloquies, Izzard…smashes all three of the great ones.” ★★★★ – The Chicago Tribune
“Eddie Izzard’s Hamlet is spectacular.” – Dame Judi Dench
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.
Adapted by Mark Izzard and directed by Selina Cadell.
