TLDREddie Izzard’s solo ‘Hamlet’ at the Montalbán Theatre is a daring performance that emphasizes storytelling over subtlety. The production showcases Izzard’s physical and mental endurance as she performs all roles in Shakespeare’s tragedy. While the minimalist staging and broad strokes of the adaptation may appeal to some, others may find it lacking in interpretive depth. The performance is both exhilarating and exhausting, with Izzard’s comedic timing and physicality shining through.
