Pianist's dying wish fulfilled as David Tennant uses his skull in Hamlet performance
A pianist's dying wish has been fulfilled after the actor David Tennant used his skull in a performance of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
When André Tchaíkowsky died of cancer in 1982 aged 46 he donated his body for medical science.
When the production first opened in Stratford-upon-Avon last year, Tennant let slip that 'poor Yorick' was the remains of André Tchaikowsky, a Polish pianist who died in 1982 and bequeathed his skull to the RSC.
Brings a whole new meaning to the question, Doctor Who?
