About the event
Eddie Izzard performs Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Direct from her critically acclaimed, triple-extended New York, Chicago and London solo performances of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
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.
“An impressive sweeping performance. ★★★★” – The Telegraph
“When it gets to the famous soliloquies, Izzard…smashes all three of the great ones.” ★★★★ – The Chicago Tribune
Adapted by Mark Izzard and directed by Selina Cadell.
