Has anyone here seen this?

I went weeks ago but kept putting off posting about it, anyway my point is:
See this play or die trying.
This play was pure magic from start to finish, a world class performance from the entire cast, especially David Tennant (this here is a man knows how to go crazy)
If you can get tickets do, even if its just to see Patrick Stewart facepalm live on stage.

Who does Patrick Stewart play?

I'm absolutely rubbish with names, but the ghost of Hamlet's father, and Hamlet's uncle.

I'm not gonna get to see it. I'd like to, though. Patrick Stewart's a wonderful actor, and so is the rest of the cast, I imagine.

I'm the like resident RSC Buff since my college is the greatest one ever, but I'll be seeing this sometime soon.
It's gonna be good. :smallbiggrin:
And it's going to be a fight between every female and me for David Tennant.

I love Shakespeare, so I'll go for it.

When I was back in the UK this July I tried to get tickets for the previews. But they were all sold out. Seriously sold out.

Anyone know how long it'll run for?

I haven't seen it in person, but I've seen a recording of this play. Absolutely hilarious.

I must admit that when I was about to enter the theatre I was afraid that there might be a few Daleks and Klingons in the audience, but luckily any die hard whovians and trekkies in the audience observed proper theatre etiquette (not to be confused with pantomime etiquette, I learned this one the hard way)
