Legendary actor and comedian Eddie Izzard brings her acclaimed solo production of Hamlet to London.

Direct from a smash-hit, sold-out run in New York, Eddie plays all 23 characters in this tour de force performance of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy.

Eddie Izzard: “I have always gravitated towards playing complex and challenging characters and Hamlet is the ultimate. This is a production for everyone, a timeless drama with an accidental hero. Selina, Mark and I want audiences to see and hear an accessible, touching, scary and dramatic Hamlet.”

Eddie Izzard is a Tony Award nominated (A Day in the Death of Joe Egg) and Emmy Award winning (Dressed to Kill) actor, including critically acclaimed film, TV, and theatre performances such as Race (Broadway), Lenny (West End), Stephen Frears’ Victoria & Abdul, Julie Taymor’s Across the Universe, Peter Bogdanovich’s The Cat’s Meow, Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal, and FX’s The Riches. 

Hamlet follows Eddie’s acclaimed 2023 solo production of Great Expectations in the West End.

Hamlet is playing at the Riverside Studios in London from 23 May to 30 June 2024.

In Hamlet, The King of Denmark is dead, and Prince Hamlet is determined to take revenge, initiating a cascade of events that will destroy both family and state. Eddie will be portraying men, women, ghosts, scholars, tyrants, courtiers, lovers, fools, and poets.
