Comic performs 23 roles

Eddie Izzard is to tour her solo version of Hamlet this autumn, taking on 23 characters.

It is the follow-up to the comic’s single-handed take on Great Expectations, which she performed in New York and in the West End. 

Izzard said: ‘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 Hamlet.’
