Suzy Eddie Izzard brings her one woman show IZZARD: THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET to stun Sydney audiences.

Emmy Award-winning and Tony Award-nominated performer Eddie Izzard is bringing her acclaimed one-person performance of The Tragedy of Hamlet to the Sydney Opera House. Check out photos here.

Eclipse, written and directed by John Morton will receive its world premiere at Chichester’s Minerva Theatre from 8 May – 6 June. The full cast has been revealed, joining Sarah Parish and Rupert Penry-Jones.

Production photos have been released for Two Halves of Guinness, the solo play celebrating the life and career of Sir Alec Guinness, starring Zeb Soanes. The production is currently touring the UK.

The almost bare bones solo turn – at the Ricardo Montalban Theatre for a quickie six-performance run - is Izzard’s homage to the original performance practices of William Shakespeare, and also to her early years as a street performer.

Dear Readers, I want to set the not-so-wayback machine to January 2024 when I got to see the first preview of Eddie Izzard doing her one person “Hamlet” in New York. Now I want to emphasize, this was the first preview of a brand-new show, and it was rough. This is to be expected. But afterward I was out on the street waiting for my cab when Izzard came out of the theater. Faced with the glory that is Eddie Izzard, and me being a big fan, I blurted out, “You were amazing!” Which she was, even in a rough show. She looked at me and said “That was a six. Come back later and you’ll see a ten!” Well, it’s taken a little while, but I finally got to come back now that she’s brought her tour of the show to Seattle at the Seattle Rep. And I’m happy to report she was right; we’re at a ten now.
