Direct from a triple-extended New York run and prior to a highly anticipated London transfer, Tony-nominated and Emmy-winning actor Eddie Izzard brings her celebrated solo theatrical performance of Shakespeare’s iconic HAMLET to Chicago. The King of Denmark is dead, and Prince Hamlet is determined to take revenge—initiating a cascade of events that will destroy both family and state. Izzard seamlessly shifts between 23 characters—men, women, ghosts, scholars, tyrants, courtiers, lovers, fools, and poets—in this tour de force performance. chicagoshakes.com/hamlet
