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?

it makes me want to write a sequel to hamlet where hamlet's ghost comes back and haunts fortinbras.

Zombie Hamlet sounds like it would be a fun production.

YES! YES!! YES!!! Not that I twitch every time that the RSC sends me something from their now-useless membership or anything.

I'm so happy, extra happy because me and my friends fought to buy £30 tickets to see him and then the poor guy messed up his back! And then my mate managed to see him on his last week. I was gutted. Before today I couldn't think about it without being filled with jealous rage like boiling rage! But now it drains away and I simply can't wait to see and squee and see what I was previously denied, oh fuck yes! *resumes dancing*
