Production Style and Creative Team
Izzard’s Hamlet embraces the minimalist spirit of early Shakespearean theater, performed on a simple stage that highlights the power of the text itself.
"The performance is adapted by Mark Izzard and directed by Selina Cadell, placing the audience inches from the emotional and psychological turmoil of Denmark’s troubled prince."
The production follows sold-out shows in the United States and United Kingdom, receiving widespread praise for its bold and modern interpretation.
