Radiohead's 'Hail to the Thief' Reimagined for New 'Hamlet' Stage Show

Theatre director Christine Jones and Thom Yorke collaborate on a unique adaptation combining Shakespeare's play with Radiohead's 2003 album.

Hamlet Hail to the Thief will premiere in Manchester in April 2025 before moving to Stratford-upon-Avon in June.
Thom Yorke is reworking the music from Radiohead's album Hail to the Thief to fit the themes of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
The production is described as a 'fast-paced distillation' of the play, featuring live performances by a cast of 20 musicians and actors.
The adaptation envisions Elsinore as a surveillance state, highlighting themes of paranoia, corruption, and grief.
Tickets for the Manchester and Stratford-upon-Avon shows go on sale on October 2, 2024.
