Verily!

So here I am, preparing for my trip to Los Angeles next week, when I try to catch up on my flist and discover, via lizbee, that David Tennant is confirmed to play Hamlet next season with the RSC... and with Patrick Stewart as Claudius.

....

Now I know I already spoiled myself last year by watching Patrick Stewart as Prospero and as Antony, but this is

Holy crap, really? What are the dates? If I can wrangle that, I'm DAMN well going to be in the UK for it...

[selenak]

Really. From July till November; a shame on you, Ma'am, if you can't return to the shores of Albion once during all those months...

Tennant 'n Stewart in Hamlet!!!!!!!

Hm. I wonder if I could claim leniency for robbing someone in the street just to get the means to see that. I mean, yes, it's crime, but it's for the Arts, right?

Every judge with a modicum of sense would absolve you!

[timeofchange]

Verily, indeed! That news is worthy of so much squee that I don't even know where to start!

*dances the dance of geeky joy*

See, this is where I have to hate you again.

. . . oh, hell, I don't really need to eat, do I? And a car is totally optional. So's a roof over my head. Meet you at the theater!

*starts counting pennies*

Also, GIC.

Maybe they, like Ian McKellen this year, will go on tour to the states. NY is still an expense for you but less so than Stratford, so I'll cross my fingers for you.

Also, I'm giggling like a madwoman about the icon.

Ohhhh. I've been thinking about a trip to England next year....

It's the perfect highlight. Having journeyed all across Great Britain from Cornwall to Scotland last year and crowned this with two Stewart performances at Stratford, I can promise you this. DT and he on the stage, "a little more than kin and less than kind" - how can one resist?

Wouldn't it be perfect to have everyone show up and take in the show together?
