EDDIE IZZARD PERFORMS HAMLET
Adapted by Mark Izzard
Directed by Selina Cadell
April 19 – May 4, 2024
The Courtyard Theater
Direct from a triple-extended New York run and prior to a highly anticipated London transfer, Tony-nominated and Emmy-winning actor Eddie Izzard brings her celebrated solo theatrical performance of Shakespeare’s iconic play to Chicago in a strictly limited engagement. 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. Izzard seamlessly shifts between 23 characters—men, women, ghosts, scholars, tyrants, courtiers, lovers, fools, and poets—in this tour de force performance.
