Eddie Izzard: Hamlet

Following last year’s one-woman ‘Great Expectations’, comedy legend and occasional serious thesp Eddie Izzard tackles Shakespeare’s greatest work solo, taking on a walloping 23 roles in a little over two hours. As with ‘Great Expectations’ the vibe is more serious than silly, but Izzard is a charismatic enough performer that comedy fans ought to have a good time (though being familiar with the play can’t hurt).
