when i die i want my skull preserved and donated to a theater group to function as the skull of yorick in a production of hamlet

“james, you can’t do that -”

Tennant was holding Tchaikowsky’s skull. The famous composure put in his will that his body should be donated to science and his skull to the Royal Shakespeare Company for use in productions of Hamlet

it is in fact not the skull of the famous composer, the skull belonged to a random patron of the arts who happened to also be called Tchaikowsky but he did indeed donate it for this exact purpose in his will. consider him the less famous but more definitively dead Tchaikowsky

1) That’s a massive relief, because I was thinking about what it must feel like to be an actor on stage in front of hundreds, holding the skull of one of the world’s most famous composers, and the immense pressure not to fumble and drop the damn thing.

2) Are…. are you suggesting that the more famous Tchaikovsky is less definitively dead?

well have you seen his skull recently? we know for sure that André Tchaikowsky is dead or at least David Tennant does. nobody even knows how Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky died. i call that suspicious.
