O, What a Rogue and Tennant Slave Am I
September 5th, 2007
David Tennant is going to play Hamlet! With the Royal Shakespeare Company! In Stratford-upon-Avon!
So this other guy named Patrick Stewart is in it, too. I have my priorities.
Unfortunately, this will mean a break in the Doctor Who schedule. All the more reason that Porpoise and I need to pack our bags next summer and head to England. Hamlet will be playing July-November 2008, as will Love’s Labours Lost, in which Tennant will play Berowne. Meh. There’s a reason the Shakespeare episode of this season’s Doctor Who toyed with the idea of a Love’s Labours Lost sequel: the play as it is kind of stinks (for Shakespeare, anyway). Even Kenneth Branagh couldn’t make it accessible. But, hey, if I just happened to be in England and there just happened to be a reasonably priced ticket available, I wouldn’t say nay.
Have I mentioned that I once dreamed in iambic pentameter about the events of Hamlet occurring in a swimming pool? Now I can throw David Tennant into that bizarre subconscious mix.

Yes, I had heard the same. If I survived the 20 year lull of no-new-Who… I’ll survive a few extra months in order to get David back. I’ve been enjoying his tenure as the Time Lord.
