| All the World’s a Stage! Eddie Izzard in Hamlet Must Close in New York on April 14 For Transfer to Chicago and London Eddie Izzard’s performance of Shakespeare’s Hamlet will close at New York’s Orpheum Theatre (126 Second Ave.) on Sunday April 14 prior to a limited engagement at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater from April 19 – May 4, followed by a six-week run at London’s Riverside Studios from May 23 – June 30. Tickets for all three productions are available at www.eddieizzardhamlet.com Hamlet sold out its initial twice-extended run at New York’s Greenwich House Theater after which it moved to The Orpheum Theatre. It marks Eddie’s second solo theatrical production in New York, following last year’s sold-out run of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, which played to rave reviews at Greenwich House and in London’s West End. A Tony Award nominated (A Day in the Death of Joe Egg) and Emmy Award winning (Dressed to Kill) actor, Eddie Izzard’s boundary-pushing career includes critically acclaimed film, TV, and theatre performances: Race (Broadway), Lenny (West End), Stephen Frears’ Victoria & Abdul opposite Judi Dench, Julie Taymor’s Across the Universe, Peter Bogdanovich's The Cat’s Meow, Bryan Fuller’s “Hannibal,” and FX’s “The Riches.” London’s Telegraph called Hamlet “Absorbing and intimate. An impressive sweeping performance. ????” NBC-TV'S Today Show said “To be or not to be 23 different characters, that is the question. And Eddie Izzard’s Hamlet is the answer.” Theatermania.com said Izzard “makes each verse crackle.” New York Stage Review said, “Oh what a noble prince (plus everyone else) is Eddie Izzard.” Hamlet is adapted by Mark Izzard and directed by Selina Cadell, with whom Eddie also collaborated on Great Expectations. The design team is Tom Piper (set), Tyler Elich (lighting), Tom Piper and Libby DaCosta (costume stylists), and Didi Hopkins (Movement Director). The New York production is produced by WestBeth Entertainment, Mick Perrin Worldwide, and John Gore. The Chicago production is produced by WestBeth Entertainment, Mick Perrin Worldwide, John Gore, and the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. The London production is produced by Mick Perrin Worldwide, WestBeth Entertainment, Eleanor Lloyd Productions and John Gore. |
