Shakespeare ‘s most famous tragedy will collide with Radiohead ‘s 2003 album “Hail to the Thief” when “ Hamlet Hail to the Thief” opens at London’s Barbican Theatre on Oct. 31, running through Jan. 23, 2027.

The production marks the London premiere of the show, which played to sold-out houses at the Royal Shakespeare Company and Aviva Studios, home of Factory International, last year.
