SUMMARY:Eddie Izzard - Hamlet
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 21 at 8pm\nSunday\, March 22 at 3pm \nFollowing a triple-extended New York run\, a box office record-breaking two-week run at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre\, and a six-week London run—which Dame Judi Dench called ‘Spectacular’—Tony Award-nominated EDDIE IZZARD brings her acclaimed solo performance of HAMLET to Boston! \nThe 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. She says: \n“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.” \nLondon’s Telegraph called Hamlet “Absorbing and intimate. An impressive sweeping performance. ★★★★” \nNBC-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.” \nTheatermania.com said Izzard “makes each verse crackle.” \nNew York Stage Review said\, “Oh what a noble prince (plus everyone else) is Eddie Izzard. \nBest known as an actor\, multi-lingual comedian\, multi-marathon runner and trailblazing political candidate. Eddie Izzard’s career pushes boundaries and defies description with record-breaking comedy tours and critically acclaimed film\, TV\, and theatre performances. \nThe design team is Tom Piper (set)\, Tyler Elich (lighting)\, Tom Piper and Libby DaCosta (costume stylists)\, and Didi Hopkins (Movement Director). It is produced by Mick Perrin Worldwide\, WestBeth Entertainment\, Eleanor Lloyd Productions and John Gore. \n‘HAMLET’ is adapted by Mark Izzard and directed by Selina Cadell\, with whom Eddie also collaborated on Great Expectations. \n“Izzard’s feat is monumental. Flawless and masterfully accomplished” – DC Theater Arts \n“The play’s the thing wherein the audience catches the sheer dramatic power of Izzard\, one of the finest actors in a generation.” – hollywoodsoapbox.com

SUMMARY:Eddie Izzard - Hamlet
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 21 at 8pm\nSunday\, March 22 at 3pm \nFollowing a triple-extended New York run\, a box office record-breaking two-week run at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre\, and a six-week London run—which Dame Judi Dench called ‘Spectacular’—Tony Award-nominated EDDIE IZZARD brings her acclaimed solo performance of HAMLET to Boston! \nThe 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. She says: \n“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.” \nLondon’s Telegraph called Hamlet “Absorbing and intimate. An impressive sweeping performance. ★★★★” \nNBC-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.” \nTheatermania.com said Izzard “makes each verse crackle.” \nNew York Stage Review said\, “Oh what a noble prince (plus everyone else) is Eddie Izzard. \nBest known as an actor\, multi-lingual comedian\, multi-marathon runner and trailblazing political candidate. Eddie Izzard’s career pushes boundaries and defies description with record-breaking comedy tours and critically acclaimed film\, TV\, and theatre performances. \nThe design team is Tom Piper (set)\, Tyler Elich (lighting)\, Tom Piper and Libby DaCosta (costume stylists)\, and Didi Hopkins (Movement Director). It is produced by Mick Perrin Worldwide\, WestBeth Entertainment\, Eleanor Lloyd Productions and John Gore. \n‘HAMLET’ is adapted by Mark Izzard and directed by Selina Cadell\, with whom Eddie also collaborated on Great Expectations. \n“Izzard’s feat is monumental. Flawless and masterfully accomplished” – DC Theater Arts \n“The play’s the thing wherein the audience catches the sheer dramatic power of Izzard\, one of the finest actors in a generation.” – hollywoodsoapbox.com
