i know these are rehearsal pics but This is kind of the most hamlet and horatio that these two have ever looked (including when they were actually in costume for the characters)

Good night, sweet prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

HAMLET (2009) dir. Gregory Doran

[good-night-my-sweet-prince]

thinking about andré tchaikowsky, my sweet little shakespeare-obsessed gay, who just wanted be a part the shakespearean tradition even from beyond the grave, who donated his own skull in to theatre to cement his connection to art, his death only marking his transition from artist to art

and thinking about his skull being finally used after over two decades in THAT 2008 rsc production of hamlet

and thinking about THAT MOMENT from the film version in which hamlet says the line here hung those lips that I have kiss'd I know not how oft and horatio, like the sweet little gay that he is, looks at hamlet the very moment he utters the word kiss'd

andré, this is all you ever wanted and MORE

oh to be peter de jersey and to be known by david tennant fans everywhere as both the latter half the most tender, loving hamlet and horatio pairing, and as *grumpy scottish accent* “dirty brian”

Storm in a Recycled Cup

THE TEMPEST Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford upon Avon, Monday 6thFebruary 2023 There is a welcome drive in contemporary theatre for sustainability and being green.  The RSC is at the forefront: they’ve been recycling the same 37 plays for decades!  Seriously, anything that reduces or offsets an organisation’s carbon footprint can only be for the good, can’t it?  Can this example of…

- Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night sweet prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

David Tennant & Peter de Jersey as Prince Hamlet & Horatio in Hamlet (2009), dir. Gregory Doran

[2000sscribbles]

it's already crazy and misogynistic to accuse georgia tennant of being evil over zero evidence whatsoever but also like putting that aside i can't believe u ppl are like "i know who david will REALLY be happy with. that's right. michael sheen" like it's so transparently obvious that you guys r doing that bc you're just really into good omens and don't actually care about david or michael as people and they r just dolls you are mashing together in your minds. imagine if i truthed like that over dt and peter de jersey because the hamratio yaoi rotted my brain too hard

I've had a vague urge to get more into Shakespeare for years; what are the top 3-5 plays you'd recommend that AREN'T Hamlet or Much Ado? And what version of each is your favorite?

(sorry for omitting two god tier ones but I've already seen David Tennant in each of those and I surmise that you're insane about both so I'm looking for some new plays)

gonna be some basic bitch answers but here:

macbeth - the tragedy of macbeth (2021) movie adaptation starring denzel washington. this movie is fucking stunning and the way they did the witches was SO good. also i have the throne of blood (kurosawa's adaptation) also on my watchlist since i've heard REALLY good things about it

richard ii - 2013 rsc production w/ david tennant (link). he gives me catastrophic gender envy, i need to become more masculine to become more feminine etc. ben whishaw in the hollow crown series (link) is great too

romeo and juliet - romeo + juliet (1996) movie adaptation directed by baz luhrmann. this is like, the most well known romeo and juliet and you might've watched it already but i'm listing this anyway because there will never be a better mercutio and the way they did the setting is SO fucking funny and inspired

twelfth night - so far only saw this one Outside On The Grass Where They Performed This At My College but i liked it a lot... reccing the 2012 globe production with mark rylance (part 1 / part 2) (his hamlet was one of dt's favorites as an aspiring actor) (i'm putting my faith in letterboxd and david's taste for this one)

coriolanus - 2014 donmar production w/ tom hiddleston (on archive.org). this is directed by josie rourke, who also directed dt/ct's 2011 much ado! the staging and the effects are fucking awesomeeee (also peter de jersey and elliot levey are in this, i love them)

also shoutout to the ones i want to watch:

the 2016 production of a midsummer night's dream w/ ncuti gatwa (i have found nowhere to pirate it and i might just crack and pay the 10 dollars to watch it)

the 2015 production of the love's labour's lost w/ edward bennett (he played laertes in hamlet (2009) and he's REALLY underrated, i love his benedick SO FUCKING MUCH even if that production overall was a little dull)

either hollow crown's or greg doran's henry iv (it's two whole plays i need so much time to watch that. and ideally i want to watch both lol)

kurosawa's ran (1985), an adaptation of king lear set in 1500s japan

vishal bhardwaj's omkara (2006), an adaptation of othello set in india
