HAMLET! FUCK YEAH!
He failed to win a nomination for a Laurence Olivier award because a bad back prevented him from completing enough performances, but Mandrake can disclose that fans of David Tennant will have another chance to see him in the role of Hamlet.
The 37-year-old Dr Who actor and the entire cast of the RSC production are preparing to make a film version of the play in June to record for posterity his portrayal, which was described by some as the greatest Hamlet of his generation.
i think the "greatest hamlet of his generation" comment is just possibly a bit much. but who fucking cares because THEY'RE RECORDING IT!! i eagerly await patrick stewart's claudius and the scene in gertrude's closet. oh yeah! meanwhile i am too amused by the headline: "David Tennant's curtailed Hamlet will rise from the grave". zombie hamlet sounds like a project that should already exist somewhere, surely?

(Actually, it did prove useful on the night. They didn't have my tickets waiting, although they promptly choked up a pair when I handed over my printed confirmation with member number. It wasn't until later that I checked and realized that the tickets weren't where I thought they'd be because they didn't *give* me the tickets I'd ordered. Yet another double booking.)
