The 10 Best Hamlets

David wass included in an article from Sunday's edition of The Guardian, entitled The 10 Best Hamlets. You can read his entry below:

Sardonic and volatile, David Tennant's Hamlet was so graceful that at times he seemed almost to dance across the stage. The idea of seeing Dr Who in the flesh brought schoolchildren thronging into Gregory Doran's modern-dress production for the RSC two years ago. What they saw was a japester who pushed himself squealing along on a caster chair, a young man sunk in a melancholy dream and a prince of parody, a compulsive mimic who kept becoming someone other than himself. This was a Hamlet who continually played with the idea that wit can look like witlessness. And vice versa.

The full article can be seen on The Guardian's website here.

Just When Stories

PRESS RELEASE: August 2010
TOP ACTOR DAVID TENNANT, best known as Dr Who, has teamed up with Hong Kong-based author Nury Vittachi on a new audio tale. The UK-based TV actor has recorded The Legend of Earthseasky, a new story by the popular Asian author.
The pairing is the lead story in a new book and audio-book story collection called the Just When Stories. Other top authors involved include William Boyd, Michael Morpurgo and Hanif Kureishi. Actors on the audiobook version include Romola Garai, star of Atonement, and Martin Jarvis, who was in Titanic.
The Just When Stories is a collection of original stories inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories. That legendary book, which contains classic tales such as “How the Leopard Got His Spots”, was published in 1902. In a bid to raise funds for endangered animals 100 years later, UK-based animal lover Tamara Gray was inspired to commission top authors from around the world to create a new book asking the question JUST WHEN will endangered animals disappear?
The Just When Stories will appear shortly as a book, an e-book, an audiobook and an audio download, with prices ranging from 9.99 GBP to 14.99 GBP.

“The title ‘Just When Stories’ asks the questions: when will the irrational and cruel destruction of wildlife stop, and when will we take action to make it stop?” said Ms Gray. “Estimated at between US$6 billion and US$20 billion a year by Interpol, the illegal wildlife trade has drastically reduced numerous wildlife populations, and currently has some teetering on the brink of extinction.”
All profits from the sales of the book and audio files will be donated to WildAid and the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation.
Vittachi said: “We’re lucky enough to live on the most magical rock for a million, million miles. Let’s keep it that way.”
In his story The Legend of Earthseasky, which leads the collection, the animals of planet Earth hold a tense meeting at a secret location to find an answer to the threat of the Two-Legged Terror, a fast-breeding creature that is wiping out all other animal species.

The History Of Dundee Rep Theatre

A new book about the history of the Dundee Rep has been released and it features memories of David's time at the Rep.
The book, written by Linda Caston, charts the development of the theatre from 1939 to the present day, it has been released to mark the Rep's 70th birthday.
Ms Caston tells The Courier:
"I've had a lifelong interest in live theatre and have been attending Dundee Rep for over 35 years," she said.
"I was aware that a comprehensive history had not previously been written, and thought it would make an interesting topic, combining my interests in local history and theatre."
The book charts the theatre's rise from humble beginnings to become the current centre of Dundee's cultural life.
Copies are on sale priced £6 at the theatre's box office and at Waterstones, Commercial Street, Dundee.

James Cameron, Russell T Davies, Stan Lee, Mark Millar, Neil Gaiman, Wes Craven, Edgar Wright, David Tennant and Terry Pratchett all contribute.

David Wins At The Portal Awards

David has won the Best Actor award in the Portal Awards by an absolute landslide! Plus Russell T Davies' Doctor Who totally swept the board...

Airlock Alpha say:
Fans will definitely miss David Tennant and Russell T. Davies. At least those who took the time to participate in Airlock Alpha's 2010 Portal Awards.
Tennant won Best Actor/Television (by a landslide) and Davies picked up the Gene Roddenberry Award for lifetime achievement on this third try as "Doctor Who" walked away with six awards, including Best Series/Television for "Doctor Who" itself.
Tennant had a tough field to compete against in the Best Actor category including the likes of John Barrowman from "Torchwood," Matthew Fox from "Lost," Zachary Levi from "Chuck" and Eddie McClintock from "Warehouse 13." Tennant, however, took 68 percent of the vote with his closest runner-up, Barrowman, attracting just 10 percent of the overall vote for that category.
McClintock, who campaigned heavily for the role -- including a last-minute attempt to get San Diego Comic-Con attendees to get the vote out on the final day of balloting -- finished a very respectable third, pulling in 9 percent of the vote. (VIDEO: The Purple Awards?)
Bernard Cribbins, who played Donna Noble's grandfather (and who played a key role in Tennant's final episodes) won Best Supporting Actor/Television in his first try, beating a field that included Robert Carlyle from "Stargate: Universe," Enver Gjokaj from "Dollhouse," John Noble from "Fringe" and Terry O'Quinn from "Lost." Cribbins took 59 percent of the vote, followed by Noble with 14 percent.
For Best Series, "Doctor Who" attracted 65 percent of the vote followed by "Torchwood" with 11 percent.
"Torchwood" didn't go away empty-handed. "Children of Earth" was critically acclaimed and earned a lot of nominations, however, only Eve Myles -- who plays Gwen Cooper -- received a virtual statue, picking up 38 percent of the vote in Best Actress/Television compared to her runner-up, Karen Gillan from "Doctor Who," who had 26 percent of the vote.
The "Doctor Who" finale "End of Time" won Best Episode/Television, while Alex Kingston won Best Guest/Television for her role as River Song in the "Doctor Who" episode "Time of Angels." Runners-up in those categories were "Children of Earth" and Leonard Nimoy for the "Fringe" season finale "Over There."
Alaina Huffman picked up a Best Supporting Actress/Television award for her work on "Stargate: Universe," and the Syfy series won Best Web Production for its "Kino" outing.
On the movie side, "Avatar" took two awards including Best Movie as well as Best Actress/Movie for Sigourney Weaver. Robert Downey Jr. won for Best Actor/Movie for "Iron Man 2."
The site formerly known as SciFi Wire won for Best Web Site, while Daniel Radcliffe took home his record-breaking fourth Portal Awards, this time for Best Young Actor in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."
"Star Trek: The Next Generation" won its first (and likely only) Portal Award, when it was elected as the fourth classic series to join those honored for the Rod Serling Award. It joins charter class winners of "Twilight Zone," "Star Trek" and the original "Doctor Who" for shows that have ended their run at least 10 years ago.
