[As you like it, Measure for measure, love's labor lost, Richard II, Hamlet, The Comedy of errors, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet, much Ado about nothing, Macbeth]
P.s. he had also been in Edward III as Edward the black prince and the midsummer night's dream as Lysander/flute but I couldn't find any pictures from those plays. Also he had taken part in many audio performances from Archangel archive full Shakespeare plays collection to BBC radio Macbeth 2022.
the friar from much ado about nothing after his faking a death scheme actually works: wow, I can't wait to tell my friend in verona about this one weird trick!
O then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do—
They pray; grant thou, lest faith turn to despair
"The palm touches between Romeo and Juliet have an added significance in that they express a depth of feeling also associated with the extremity of devotional worship and they occur spontaneously, triggering, at an instant, the feeling of love."

I only want you to focus on the first 2:30 of this video. I have Completely Staged. The Complete Illustrated Scripts (it’s wonderful btw).
David introduces the idea of “sabotage” to Michael, and that is where this section of the script ends in the book.
From :38 -2:29 the whole conversation about Michael’s dad, the playing catch (or throw) David talking about doing the same thing to their dog, all of it IS NOT IN THIS BOOK. I searched everywhere looking for the possibility that maybe it was accidentally printed in a different area, a footnote that it was “accidentally left out, a printing accident?”
But a WHOLE conversation, an important one to the storyline? Therefore I have to go with its improv. And this is the lead up to this absolute iconic connection:
And David is the one in control of it ♥️ look at that twinkle…….🤩
Say what you will, the fire between these two burns brighter than the hellfire Gabriel tried using to destroy Aziraphale. 🔥
The first time/photo of them together as the pandemic is winding down. Social distancing my ass! It wasn’t going to happen. ♥️✨
Palm to palm may be holy palmers kiss, but shoulder to shoulder will start a fire as well. 🔥
ncuti gatwa being a massive david tennant fan is good for me, personally, in a similar way to how david tennant being a massive doctor who fan is good for me, personally, because it means the nerds and the fangirls are winning in this series
