EDDIE IZZARD: HAMLET - Lighthouse Poole, Wednesday 22 October

Direct from her critically acclaimed, triple-extended New York, Chicago and London solo performances of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Lighthouse is proud to announce Eddie Izzard will perform her award-nominated show in our Theatre on Wednesday 22 October.


Akin to the original performances of Hamlet, Eddie will perform on the blank canvas of a bare stage, letting Shakespeare’s words and pure storytelling take the spotlight.


Adapted by Mark Izzard and directed by Selina Cadell, the show has been nominated for the New York Drama League’s Distinguished Performance Award and the Outer Critic’s Circle Outstanding Solo Performance Award.


Presented by Mick Perrin Worldwide Ltd in association with PBJ Management, this production is true to the text of Shakespeare and for ages 9 to 90.


What they say…

“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
