This Year's Model of Humanity

First off, the role call of RSC folk in this season's plays who have also been in Doctor Who:
( more names than you might think )

The first play that I saw was the sublime "Love's Labour's Lost". It was funny and sexy and very good. ( What would Berowne say? - thoughts on LLL )

( And now, a picture of David at the curtain call of LLL and a couple of him at the stage door afterwards )

So, all that was awesome. The next day, after meeting jagwriter78, starlightmoonla and principia_coh (slightly later), antigone921 and I wandered off on our own. She'd heard that the Shakespeare Archive and Library had tape copies of old RSC performances, including (she hoped) David Tennant's "Comedy of Errors" from 2000. ( and have it, they did ) All in all, very adorable and definitely worth checking out if you're in Stratford. The Library is located very near the Shakespeare Birthplace and viewing one of the plays is free if you're a student (they also had David's "Romeo and Juliet" but we didn't have the time to see that one).

Then, it was "Hamlet" time. Before I go into the detail, I must say this... until I came to Stratford, David was definitely in the top twenty hottest guys I've seen. Now? Number one with a bullet. Guh. The amount of sexy that he exudes in person is... fairly well overwhelming.

( Revenge should have no bounds -- extensive Hamlet thoughts )

In conclusion: freaking awesome.
