There was some most unprofessional screaming in the office when I heard from a colleague that David Tennant is returning to the RSC by headlining in Richard II later this year. O! M! G! That totally made my day. Or week. Or month. Immediately bought an RSC membership so I can get priority booking when the tickets come out
