Billie Piper Stages Reunion with David Tennant???
Date: 16 October 2007
Billie Piper has been sending pulses racing on TV this month as a call girl in
Belle du Jour, but she’s reportedly hoping to return to the stage next year, for a reunion with her former
Doctor Who colleague
David Tennant. Well, maybe. She’s been mentioned in some gossip columns as a possible Ophelia to Tennant’s Hamlet for the Royal Shakespeare Company (See
News, 11 Sep 2007).
Gregory Doran’s production, which also stars
Patrick Stewart as Claudius, runs at Stratford-upon-Avon’s Courtyard Theatre from 5 August (previews from 24 July) to 15 November 2008, prior to a West End transfer.
“No one has actually asked me,” Piper admits. “Once that is done, we can move ahead.” So not exactly a dead cert. Still, stranger things have happened. And Piper did impress in her stage debut in the West End revival of Christopher Hampton’s Treats.
