HAMLET HAIL TO THE THIEF

Shakespeare’s great tragedy and Radiohead’s seminal album to collide in a fusion of theatre, music, and movement.

In Thom Yorke and directors Christine Jones and Steve Hoggett's production, Elsinore has become a surveillance state, where paranoia reigns and no one is spared a tragic unravelling. With music an integral part of the narrative, the story centres on Hamlet and Ophelia's awakening to the corruption revealed by ghosts and music.

Join us for the Creative Team Talk on 11 June and our Unwrapped event on 21 June.

Hamlet Hail to the Thief plays at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon from 4 to 28 June.

Go behind the scenes of the production at the Creative Team Talk on 30 June.
