A Shakespearean tragedy
Updated on 02 December 2008
As Hamlet moves to the West End, Stephanie West learns that Andre Tchaikowsky's skull is to be dropped from the production.
The dying wish of the Polish pianist was to leave his skull to the RSC and for them to use it on stage in Shakespeare's famous play.
After a quarter of a century Tchaikowsky finally appeared posthumously as Yorick, held aloft by David Tennant, in the production of Hamlet at Stratford.
