“When the acclaimed pianist Andre Tchaikovsky dies of cancer in 1982, he wills his skull to the Royal Shakespeare Company, hoping that he might someday play the role of Yorick in the company’s production of Hamlet. Twenty-six years later, his wish is fulfilled during a four-month run of the play, though the RSC eventually replaces Tchaikovsky after deeming his skull ‘too distracting’ to the audience.” — from Cabinet, Issue 34
