Haven't even had time to get really excited about seeing Ian McKellan in King Lear at Christmas when the RSC goes and dangles yet another tantalising play/actor combo before my very eyes.
I've just received advance purchase details for their 2008 summer/autumn Stratford season and not only is one of the plays going to be Hamlet - my favourite Shakespeare - but none other than David Tennant aka Barty Crouch jnr/Dr Who is taking the lead.
It will be nearly a year before I get to see such a pairing but I'm already excited about what he is going to bring to the role. My money is on quietly energetic...
