Eddie Izzard Performs Shakespeare's Hamlet at the Everyman Theatre
Sunday 12 October 2025
Direct from critically acclaimed, sell-out performances in New York, Chicago, and London, Eddie Izzard brings Shakespeare’s Hamlet to the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham.
Nominated for New York’s Drama League Distinguished Performance Award and Outer Critics Circle Outstanding Solo Performance Award, this unique solo interpretation sees Izzard take on every role, delivering a powerful and intimate rendition of the Bard’s greatest tragedy.
With a minimalist stage akin to Shakespeare’s original productions, this adaptation—crafted by Mark Izzard and directed by Selina Cadell—strips the play back to its raw storytelling, allowing the words to take centre stage.
"An impressive sweeping performance." ★★★★ – The Telegraph
"When it gets to the famous soliloquies, Izzard…smashes all three of the great ones." ★★★★ – The Chicago Tribune
"Eddie Izzard’s Hamlet is spectacular." – Dame Judi Dench
A must-see theatrical event in Cheltenham—don’t miss this bold reimagining of Hamlet.
