Radiohead's Thom Yorke adapts 'Hamlet' with music from 'Hail to the Thief' for a dystopian theater experience premiering in 2025.

The creative team includes Hoggett and Jones as directors, with music by Radiohead, orchestrations by Yorke, arrangements by Justin Levine, and set design by AMP Collective featuring Sadra Tehrani. “Hamlet Hail to the Thief” is co-produced by Factory International, the Royal Shakespeare Company, and ATC Experience, Nate Koch and Vivek J. Tiwary for TEG+. Hoggett added: “To communicate this expansive narrative, we have found it illuminating and inspiring to look to movement, text, lighting, sound and music to achieve the complexities of the storytelling.”
