Why can't I live in London?

 

Sometimes life really isn't fair.  One of the most awesome geeky things is about to happen, but unless you live in England, you can't go see it.

David Tennant, whom you know as Dr. Who, is going to be playing the title role in a Royal Shakespeare Company production of Hamlet.  And if that wasn't already cool enough, guess who will be playing Claudius in the production?  None than Patrick Stewart.

That's right, Captain Picard/Professor X and Dr. Who are starring in the same production of Hamlet.  It's like a geek dream come true, two great figures in Sci-fi starring in what is arguably Shakespeare's greatest play.

But Hamlet is only showing in London, so unless you live nearby or are planning to travel to London anytime soon, you're screwed.  If you are in London, or plan to be in London soon, you can buy tickets for the show here.

The rest of us will just sit here and curse the heavens for making it impossible to attend such an amazing event.
