Tennant’s Hamlet sells out in under three hours
Tickets to see David Tennant take the led role in Hamlet have sold out in less than three hours, according to the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC).

Around 270 people camped outside London’s Novello Theatre to buy tickets, with some 6,000 being sold in total.

The Doctor Who star is playing Hamlet in the RSC production at the Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon along side Star Trek’s Sir Patrick Stewart.

"We’re very pleased that the play in is accruing so much interest," an RSC spokeswoman said.

"The great news for us is that it’s encouraging that younger contingent of theatre-goers, which is one of our real aims."

"David has been wonderful in encouraging those people to come," she said of Tennant.

William Hill Bingo players may be interested to learn that the RSC issued a statement saying fans would not be permitted to bring Doctor Who or Star Trek merchandise to be autographed at the performances.
