January 28, 2026

Eddie Izzard’s revival at the Montalbán is at once exhilarating and exhausting.

- CHARLES McNULTY THEATER CRITIC

To be or not to be, that is the question for a solo version of Shakespeare's “Hamlet.”

Eddie Izzard, the wry, gender-fluid British comedian who came to attention with a stream of observational drollery that picked away at common sense, takes on the whole teeming tragedy. This Shakespearean traveling show, now at the Montalbán Theatre in Hollywood through Saturday, is a daredevil feat of memory, theatrical bravado and cardio fitness.
