World premiere
Shakespeare’s great tragedy and Radiohead’s seminal album collide for a feverish new live experience that fuses theatre, music, and movement. In this fast-paced distillation of the play, Shakespeare’s words and Radiohead’s album illuminate one another in thrilling new ways as the music becomes a critical part of the narrative. Personally reworked by Thom Yorke, the deconstructed album will be performed live onstage by a cast of 20 musicians and actors. The production is a collaboration between Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke, and celebrated directors, Steven Hoggett and Christine Jones. It will premiere at Aviva Studios before transferring to the Royal Shakespeare Company, Stratford.
