Eddie Izzard's HAMLET Seattle Run Extended A Second Time

Due to popular demand, Eddie Izzard's acclaimed solo performance of Shakespeare's Hamlet has been extended a second time, now playing through Friday, May 23, 2025, at Seattle Rep's Leo K. Theatre.

Four performances have been added to the run: Tuesday, May 20 at 8:00 p.m., Wednesday, May 21 at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, May 22 at 7:30 p.m., and Friday, May 23 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets to the four added performances are on sale now and can be purchased online at www.seattlerep.org, by phone at 206-443-2222, or in person at the Seattle Rep box office at 155 Mercer Street at Seattle Center

The Seattle run of Hamlet follows a two-week run at San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre, 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 Izzard brings 23 characters to life in a dynamic new staging of William Shakespeare's iconic play, adapted by Mark Izzard and directed by Selina Cadell. Hamlet is a co-presentation by Seattle Theatre Group (STG) and Seattle Rep.

Hamlet received an Outer Critics Circle Award nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance, as well as a nomination for the Drama League's Distinguished Performance Award.

The King of Denmark is dead, and Prince Hamlet must take revenge—initiating a cascade of events that will destroy both family and state. In Hamlet, Izzard portrays men, women, ghosts, scholars, tyrants, courtiers, lovers, fools, and poets.
