David Tennant

Best known for his performance as the Tenth Doctor in BBC’s Doctor Who, David is also one of the most celebrated Shakespearean actors of his generation.

He joined the RSC in in 1996, taking the lead role in 'Romeo and Juliet', playing Touchstone in 'As You Like It' and Antipholus of Syracuse in 'Comedy of Errors'.

His performance as Hamlet for the RSC, directed by Greg Doran in 2008, was described by The Guardian as “theatrical history in the making” and “the best and most intelligent Hamlet of recent times.”

Following a TV adaptation of 'Hamlet' for BBC Two in 2008, David’s subsequent return to the RSC as Richard II enjoyed a sell-out run at the Barbican and is currently touring to New York.
