Chicago Shakespeare Theater has announced an addition to the season: Tony Award-nominated actor Eddie Izzard brings her celebrated solo theatrical performance of Hamlet to Chicago, direct from a triple-extended New York run at the Orpheum and Greenwich House Theaters and prior to launching a highly anticipated London transfer at Riverside Studios.

Rose Theatre has announced new ticket pricing and two world premieres as part of its upcoming autumn season.

Following its run at the Greenwich House Theater, Eddie Izzard’s performance of Shakespeare’s Hamlet moves to New York’s Orpheum Theatre and begins there tomorrow. Learn how to purchase tickets.

A production that promises to be a 'fresh take' on one of Shakepeare's most famous plays is apt to produce a weary sigh or two. After previously playing at Edinburgh's Royal Lyceum last February, Zinnie Harris now brings her promising yet unfocused version of the Scottish play to the Rose Theatre.

Following its run at the Greenwich House Theater, Eddie Izzard's performance of Shakespeare's Hamlet will move to New York's Orpheum Theatre beginning on Tuesday, March 19 for a four-week extension through April 14. Learn more about the production and how to get tickets here!

Maggie O’Farrell’s novel Hamnet explores grief and loss through the lens of Elizabethan society, reimagining the family life of the most celebrated playwright in England. Lolita Chakrabarti’s play enjoyed a fairly successful run in Stratford-upon-Avon and immediately promised a West End transfer. Under Erica Whyman, the production is a good-looking exercise in speculative history.
