Eddie Izzard on bringing one-person production of ‘Hamlet’ to Chicago

You may know Eddie Izzard best for her stand up comedy, but she is also acclaimed for dramatic performances from London’s West End to Broadway and beyond. 

Now after a triple-extended New York run, Eddie is bringing her one-person production of “Hamlet” to the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, playing 23 characters.
