Hamlet Hail to the Thief, which merges Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy with Radiohead’s sixth album, is set to open at the Barbican theatre in London.
Following runs at Manchester’s Aviva Studios and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, the production, co-created by Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and directors Christine Jones and Steven Hoggett, sees Elsinore reimagined as a surveillance state, with Hamlet and Ophelia’s awakening to lies and corruption revealed through ghosts and music.
