City Varieties Music Hall
Black and white image of Eddie Izzard on stage during 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 takes the spotlight.

Adapted by Mark Izzard and directed by Selina Cadell.
