DT + Theatre


Complete and total longshot, but I had to try - does anyone, anywhere have any theatre clips of David Tennant? I'm fairly new to the Tennant/Who fandom(s) and I'm desperately trying to get my hands on any footage of him on stage - particularly in Look Back in Anger and The Pillowman. If any knows where to find anything like this I'd be eternally grateful :)

Hamlet, Much Ado, and Richard II are all available to purchase (Hamlet and Richard II from Amazon or other big retailers or direct from the RSC's own site, Much Ado is exclusive to http://www.digitaltheatre.com). Hamlet can be watched free on PBS's website: http://www.pbs.org/arts/gallery/shakespeare-three-tragedies/hamlet-ful l-performance-video/ (region locked for USA only, I think). Those are the only theatre productions that have been released commercially. There may be non-commercial recordings floating around online. ;)

The RSC have recordings of all their productions at their own archive in Stratford-upon-Avon, and the National Theatre do likewise at their archive in London. You can watch any of their productions there and the National Theatre's archive does include video recordings of both The Pillowman and Look Back in Anger. Unfortunately you have to visit their buildings in person to view recordings, they aren't online, which isn't good for people outside the UK.

There is one tiny clip online from Look Back in Anger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxBS2GKRt9A

This is a great site for David's theatre work: http://davidtennanttheatre.webs.com/

If you'd like to get more involved with David Tennant fandom, GallifreyBase has a friendly and active DT thread (http://gallifreybase.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=64) and there's an active fandom on Tumblr.
