Hamlet Hail To The Thief

Shakespeare’s great tragedy and Radiohead’s seminal album collide in the world premiere of Hamlet Hail to the Thief, a feverish new live experience, fusing theatre, music and movement. Thom Yorke, Christine Jones and Steven Hoggett collaborate on a dynamic new version of Hamlet where Shakespeare’s words are illuminated by Radiohead’s album Hail to the Thief re-worked by Yorke and performed live by a cast of musicians and actors.

Hamlet Hail to the Thief is currently running at Aviva Studios, home of Factory International, Manchester (27 April – 18 May 2025) before transferring to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford Upon Avon in June (4 June - 28 June 2025). Tickets are on sale now and going fast!
