Review: HAMLET at American Conservatory Theater Strand Theater
by Steve Murray - Apr 4, 2025

Solo performances of major works are hot these days -  Isabelle Huppert, Sarah Snook and Andrew Scott have all performed their own solo shows recently. Izzard herself tackled Great Expectations, also directed by Hamlet’s Selina Cadell, and adapted by brother Mark.
