Eddie Izzard's HAMLET Begins Performances at The Orpheum Theatre Tomorrow

 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.”
 
Hamlet 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.
 
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).  It is produced by Westbeth Entertainment, Mick Perrin Worldwide, and John Gore.
