Shakespeare’s words illuminated by the seminal Radiohead album.

This ‘dynamic’ new version of Hamlet sees Shakespeare’s words illuminated by seminal Radiohead album Hail To The Thief, with the deconstructed record - reworked by the band’s frontman, Thom Yorke - performed live on stage by a cast of 20 musicians and actors. 

Commenting on the unique theatrical initiative, the Royal Shakespeare Company’s co-artistic directors, Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey, said: “Hamlet Hail To The Thief is a momentous project for us. To combine the totemic talents of William Shakespeare, with Radiohead and Thom Yorke, into a thrilling experiential piece of theatre... is a dream. It’s an event that embodies a core strand of our work, which is to be a meeting place for the work of our in-house playwright with the most exciting artists of our time, both nationally and internationally.”
