A live theatre experience fusing Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet with Radiohead's album 'Hail to the Thief'. Elsinore has become a surveillance state where paranoia reigns and Hamlet and Ophelia awake to lies and corruption revealed by ghosts and music, with a deconstructed score by Thom Yorke performed live by musicians. Co-created by Thom Yorke, Christine Jones and Steven Hoggett, the production comes to the Barbican after sold-out runs in Manchester and Stratford-upon-Avon, presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company and Factory International.
