Eddie Izzard
ABOUT THE SHOW
IMPORTANT: Please note, this is a theatrical performance by Eddie Izzard, not a comedy act.
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
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.
