Eddie Izzard is set to bring her acclaimed one-person adaptation of Shakespeare to San Francisco in April 2025, following successful runs in London and New York. The performance, which showcases Izzard's ability to portray 23 characters, has drawn praise from Dame Judi Dench. Despite some critics' reservations about the modernized text, Izzard has earned nominations for notable theater awards. Directed by Selina Cadell, this adaptation emphasizes accessibility and emotional depth, reflecting Izzard's commitment to portraying complex characters. This show follows her successful Dickens solo performance and complements her adventurous spirit, evident in her marathon running achievements.
"This is a production for everyone, a timeless drama with an accidental hero. Selina, Mark, and I want audiences to see and hear an accessible, touching, scary, and dramatic performance."
"I have always gravitated towards playing complex and challenging characters and this is the ultimate... it won her an Outer Critics Circle Award nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance in 2024."
