But will I get to see him? Not on your nelly! 3 days ago, the RSC website was saying the tickets were not on general sale yet. Today, they are saying all the performances (well all the performances I clicked on anyway) are fully booked.

Why on earth do RSC members want to see Dr Who playing Hamlet? Boo hoo! Not fair!

BTW, there is also a distinct possibility that the whole performance may transfer to London at the end of the Stratford run.

har - that reminds me. One of my favourite lol cats

pointydog · 16/05/2008 22:25

That cat looks so like Patrick Stewart it is unreal. I'll be chuckling all night now.

It needs an allover leotard!

Oh, pointy! That cat is so much better-looking than that whey-faced, weedy David MacDonald Tennant

He is a handsome puss

I'm going to see him play Hamlet

DumbledoresGirl · 16/05/2008 22:56

Saltire!!! noooooo!!!!

I did not realise DT's Hamlet had been known about for so long. Oh dear, I am a sheltered thing.

salty will sell you her ticks, DG.

she finds him an utter minger, too .

DG - the witch MIL bought them for us. I don't think DH actually knows what Hamlet is, he thinks it's a play about cigars.
I only knew about it because I read it in a magazine!
Marslady is going as well, not on the same night as me though

DumbledoresGirl · 17/05/2008 16:14

I would have a MIL like that any day if she buys you tickets to see DT!

You had better prepare your dh for a long play with a lot of mental anguish and not many laughs. If he doesn't fancy it, let me know!
