Hampstead Theatre announces that it is extending Dickie Beau’s critically- acclaimed Re-Member Me until Saturday 24 June 2023. Originally due to finish on 17 June, Re-Member Me has attracted praise from both critics and audiences alike and tickets for the extended run are now on sale.
Dickie Beau is a master of lip-sync and in Re-Member Me, directed by Jan Willem Van Den Bosch, he conjures many celebrated actors that have played Shakespeare’s tragic prince Hamlet such as John Gielgud and Ian McKellen. The epic one-man show 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 Dickie Beau. Re-Member Me is part documentary theatre, part 21st century séance, and a unique theatrical eulogy to one of the greatest Hamlet’s almost never seen.
Re-Member Me opened at Hampstead Theatre on 25 May. Sir Ian McKellen took guests to the first performance as part of his 84th birthday celebrations and 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.
Actor and star of Hamilton, Giles Terera, will join Dickie Beau on Thursday 22 June for a post-show Q&A.
Re-Member Me is at Hampstead Theatre until 24 June. Tickets available at hampsteadtheatre.com
