Tennant’s first return to the theatrical stage since his Royal
Shakespeare Company Hamlet in 2008. When the production, and it’s large Doctor Who fan following transferred to London that December Tennant was forced to miss most of the run due to serious back injury. His shortage of London performances meant he was ineligible for an
Olivier Award, though the production did win the Theatre Event of the
Year and Best Shakespearean Production prizes at the Whatsonstage.com
Awards.
