Dead Pianist in Hamlet

Submitted by admin on Saturday, 29 November 2008No Comment

David Tennant will fulfil the dying wish of a concert pianist when he uses the musician’s skull in the West End production of Hamlet next month. The Doctor Who star has agreed to use Shakespeare fan Andre Tchaikowsky’s skull in the Act Five scene featuring Yorick’s remains. Tchaikowsky, who died of cancer aged 46 in 1982, donated his skull to the Royal Shakespeare Company.
