The Royal Mail have marked the 50th Anniversary of the Royal Shakespeare Company with a new set of Stamps. Working with the Royal Shakespeare Company the Royal Mail have selected six RSC productions of Shakespeares plays from the last half century. The former Doctor Who, David Tennant, will feature as The Prince of Denmark cradling Yoricks skull from the production of Hamlet. Sir Ian McKellen and Francesca Annis also feature on a stamp from when they played Romeo and Juliet in 1976.
