Calling All English Majors

Thanks to the lovely and cultured Colleen Doran for raising the following news over on ComicMix that current Doctor Who David Tennant and Patrick Stewart will be co-starring this fall (as Hamlet and Claudius, respectively) in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s staging of, well, Hamlet.

Wow. And you thought it was tough to get tickets for Equus last spring starring Dan Radcliffe…but seriously, it's pretty remarkable that Shakespeare's work is as popular (if not 1000 times more so) today than it was in Elizabethan Britain 400 years ago.

Turrah!
