Hamlet Hail to the Thief Tickets

Widely considered Shakespeare's greatest tragedy, Hamlet follows the titular Prince of Denmark as he's charged with revenge against his uncle by the ghost of his murdered father. Hail to the Thief (2003) is Radiohead's sixth studio album with singles including 'There There', '2+2=5' and 'Go to Sleep'. Recorded in the aftermath of 9/11 and as a response to the War on Terror, the album is packed with dystopian themes that incorporate lyrics inspired by George Orwell and theatrical, Brothers Grimm style fables. And now, you get to experience these two iconic pieces of popular culture together.

Co-created by Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke, and directors Steven Hoggett and Christine Jones, Hamlet Hail to the Thief is a dynamic new version of Hamlet where Shakespeare's words are illuminated by Radiohead's celebrated album Hail to the Thief, re-worked by Yorke and performed live by a cast of musicians and actors. This fast-paced distillation of the play combines theatre, music and movement. Following sold out runs at the Royal Shakespeare Company and Aviva Studios, this unique and powerful piece of theatre is coming to London.
​​Samuel Blenkin reprises his role as Hamlet, alongside Ami Tredrea as Ophelia, Paul Hilton as Claudius/ Ghost, and Claudia Harrison as Gertrude.

If you love Shakespeare or you're a fan of Radiohead, or both, you won't want to mix this dark, clever, and powerful retelling.
