Dickie Beau’s Re-Member Me has had its run extended at Hampstead Theatre.
Originally due to finish on June 17, the show will now continue until Saturday, June 24.
The master of lip-sync, in Re-Member Me he conjures many celebrated actors that have played Shakespeare’s tragic prince Hamlet such as Sir John Gielgud and Sir Ian McKellen.
The epic one-man show, directed by Jan Willem Van Den Bosch, is also a reflection on memory and mortality and includes exclusive recordings of interviews with some of theatre’s most illustrious personalities – all lip-synced by Beau.
Re-Member Me is described as part documentary theatre, part 21st century séance, and a unique theatrical eulogy to one of the greatest Hamlet’s almost never seen.
Opening at Hampstead Theatre on May 25, Sir Ian McKellen took guests to the first performance as part of his 84th birthday celebrations. Other star theatre-goers have included Benedict Cumberbatch, Ruby Wax, Fiona Shaw, Gyles Brandreth, Indira Varma, Anoushka Shankar, Denise Gough, Liz Carr, Martin Sherman and Paul Gambaccini.
Giles Terera (Hamilton) will join Beau on Thursday, June 22 for a post-show Q&A.
