RIP David Warner

The best Hamlet I'd ever seen (1965) until Andrew Scott came along in 2015 .... and even then I wouldn't put either above the other. Warner's student revolutionary was just as fresh and innovative in '65, as was Scott's intriguingly left-field Prince in '15.

I also remember him in various film and tv roles - Morgan; a suitable case for treatment, and as a flawed, unhappy ship's captain in Hornblower.

I last saw Warner amongst the audience at Southwark PLayhouse, watching Miles Richardson's take on the little-seen J M Barrie piece Dear Brutus. I'm glad he was there.

Thank you for your Hamlet, that caught me just on the cusp of adulthood and helped shape my Shakespearian course thereafter. Flights of angels, my friend; flights of angels.
