Hamlet Hail to the Thief at Aviva Studios
Creative Tourist
Hamlet Hail to the Thief brings Shakespeare’s great tragedy and Radiohead’s seminal album together in an intoxicating blend of theatre, music, and movement.
In this frenetic adaptation of Shakespeare’s masterpiece, Elsinore has become a surveillance state and paranoia reigns in the blood of its citizens.With a focus on Hamlet and Ophelia’s awakening to the corruption around them, this reimagining sees music take an integral part in the narrative.
For Hamlet Hail to the Thief, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has reworked the band’s critically acclaimed album, which will be performed live on stage by a cast of musicians and actors.
Co-created by Yorke and celebrated directors, Frantic Assembly’s Steven Hoggett and Christine Jones, Artistic Director of Theater for One, Hamlet Hail to the Thief looks set to brim with energy – distilling Shakespeare’s great tragedy to its dark and heated core.
A hot ticket at Aviva Studios, home of Factory International, in 2025.
