tchaikowsky donating his skull to the royal shakespeare company in the hopes of becoming yorick is the most dramatic ass dark academia shit ever and you can’t convince me otherwise

I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS TRUE and you will not believe it that they never used on actual productions, only rehearsals because people got creeped out and didn’t want to use it, UNTIL DAVID TENNANT IN 2008

THAT MAD MAN ACTUALLY PERFORMED WITH THE REAL SKULL!

They had to stop using cause once the audience found out that was Tchaikovsky’s fucking bones(!) they got creeped out too and didn’t want it there, BUT DAVID JUST WENT “YEAH, LET ME HOLD THIS PIANIST’S FUCKING SKULL, WHO CARES”

Tchaikovsky DONATED IT FOR THAT PURPOSE. why did this creep anyone out? and why did they cave to the audience’s weird hangups?

some people are cowards

Cowards I’m not watching Hamlet unless there’s a real-ass skull in there

Man if you have the chance to recite Shakespeare to Tchaikovsky’s actual skull and you turn it down, I have already lost faith in your ability to embody Hamlet

Guys, guys I looked up the rest of the story and it turns out this isn’t the end of it:

After the use of Tchaikowsky’s skull was revealed in the press, this production of Hamlet moved to the West End and the RSC announced that they would no longer use Tchaikowsky’s skull (a spokesman said that it would be “too distracting for the audience”).[10] However, this was a deception; in fact, the skull was used throughout the production’s West End run, and in a subsequent television adaptation broadcast on BBC2.[11] Director Gregory Doran said, “André Tchaikowsky’s skull was a very important part of our production of Hamlet, and despite all the hype about him, he meant a great deal to the company.”[11]

They told everyone they stopped and then QUIETLY KEPT USING IT because OF COURSE they did.
