Actor, multi-lingual comedian, multi-marathon runner, and activist, Eddie Izzard’s career pushes boundaries and defies description with record-breaking tours and critically acclaimed film, TV, and theatre performances.
Adapted by Mark Izzard and directed by Selina Cadell, and 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.
This dramatic solo performance of Shakespeare’s Tragedy of Hamlet comes direct from critically acclaimed performances across North America and the UK including triple-extended runs in New York, as well as London, Chicago, Toronto, and Los Angeles.
Nominated for New York’s Drama League’s Distinguished Performance Award and Outer Critic’s Circle Outstanding Solo Performance Award.
