That made me legitimately spit out my water (and wish it was a quip I'd thought of, ha). Too bad David had already directed it by the time it got into hot water, or he totally could have!
Wow, Much Ado About Burgers! Your research skills are amazing and reading about the many things you’ve unearthed is like recovering buried treasures from the distant past! I hope one day soon David Tennant sits down with you and tells you everything you want to know about his illustrious and varied career! And then you share it with us!
Thank you for your compliments! Research is my jam, both professionally and recreationally.
And I would welcome that opportunity, especially given I'm pretty certain I inadvertently passed up a chance to do just that with (at least) one play already....
Wow. A lot to digest in this issue. I've book marked the YouTube play to watch a little later, and love the idea of DT's work on Macburgers, but what caught my interest was The Cake. I know you said this was about DT's director work, but my brain went straight to DT playing one of the rivaling brothers and then Davina playing one of the rivaling sisters. If only....Thanks for this - smiles for today.
Ha, I must confess neither of those The Cake scenarios had occurred to me!
I'm glad you enjoyed this threefold glimpse into David's years at drama school. I found the whole to-do with Macburgers fascinating, and its sad a huge corporation thought a local play written by students for kids was so threatening, it had to bring to bear its entire weight to stop it cold. As I've said below, I'm sure David heard about it - especially since Jenny was a classmate of his! I'd say I wonder what he thought about it, but given who he is? I think it's pretty much obvious he wouldn't have approved.
I'm sure he has too.... only because of a little edge in his voice when he has said McDonald's at comicons or other places. Nothing to really pick up on unless you know this back story, which thanks to you, we all now do.
Well, well, well... couldn't David pull rank and say he was a "McDonald?"

Ah, but that's a story for another play.
I certainly hope you share this story sometime soon!
Oh, I plan to. It's quite the ride, lol!
