In this production, Shakespeare’s great tragedy and Radiohead’s seminal album collide for a feverish experience that fuses theatre, music, and movement.

In this frenetic distillation of Shakespeare's masterpiece, Elsinore has come under new rule and hectic runs in the blood of its citizens. Hamlet Hail to the Thief centres on Hamlet and Ophelia's awakening to the lies and corruption revealed by ghosts and music. Paranoia reigns and no one is spared a tragic unravelling.

Please note that Radiohead are not performing at Hamlet Hail to the Thief. Radiohead’s album ‘Hail to the Thief’ is being reworked by Thom Yorke for the production and will be performed live on stage by a cast of musicians and actors.
