Yorick

[@actuallyAtlas1989]

It's a grim monologue, made even more macabre by the fact that Yorick's skull is an actual human skull.

Not only human, but Tchaikovsky's skull

@@Bschnee5015 Nah an episode of QI said that that skull was the skull of THE Tchaikovsky

[@Bschnee5015]

@@lillymsf5946 Ok, apparently QI and some other places spelled it wrong, but even they admit it is definitely the less famous Andrei Tchaikowsky, as opposed to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

One of the most wonderful versions of this play.

I don't know, they cropped out a lot of lines at the end, the whole movie was massively cut down

[@fishstick1013]

I love the acting but I'd love to see it in full

André Tchaikovsky's greatest on screen performance

Perfection 😍 Divinity ❤

[@lillymsf5946]

Sorry but i find it FUCKING AWESOME not only upon realizing that is Tchaikovsky's skull but that you can even leave your body to be used in Hamlet. It's morbid of me to say but i so would do that being such a theatre buff and lover of Shakespeare myself i cannot think of a better way to make out my will :D

[@NuttyRedBaBonkerz]

There's a channel called "For Now They Sing" that did a video on this. It's not legal anymore, nor would the RSC accept such a donation anyway.

[@talaveraleonardo]

Is this the one with the actual human skull?

[@kabirgupta3706]

Yup, André Tchaikovsky's.

[@talaveraleonardo]

@@kabirgupta3706 that's insane to think about. The balls on Andre.

The gravedigger’s accent.... west country?

[@bakedutah8411]

Silvia Ruibal Lubián, ooh, hard to say for non locals. Sounds further north and east to me; Midlands, maybe even Yorkshire?

[@Shaztrot]

His accent is funny-working-class

[@kevbrew]

It's a cross between west Yorkshire and Lancashire. Doesn't sound like the actor's natural accent.

He skipped a lot of lines noo
