Following a successful back operation and good recovery, David Tennant returned to the stage to play Hamlet at the Novello Theatre in London on Saturday. All seems to be going well at the moment and the Royal Shakespeare Company are assessing that David is fine to perform each night on a daily basis to make sure that nothing goes wrong. David will hopefully be able to perform in the remaining shows for this London run of Hamlet which will end in five days time on the tenth of January. Edward Bennett, David's understudy, has now returned to playing his original role of Laertes.
