CLICK HERE TO BUY YOUR TICKETS TO HAMLET
We asked David Ross, who plays Claudius (as well as the Ghost!) in our production of Hamlet, a few questions about himself, the play, Shakespeare, and the city of Toronto...

What neighbourhood of the city do you live in, and in your opinion, what’s the best coffee shop or bar in your neighbourhood?
I live in Bloorcourt/Dufferin Grove, or as we prefer to call it - Blufferin! The best bar is 3 Speed...without hesitation!!! And the best coffee shop would be The Common, in my humble opinion - :)

What’s your favourite line in Hamlet?
"O, my offense is rank, it smells to Heaven !"

If your character were at The Monarch Tavern, what drink would they order?
A Manhattan - but easy on the vermouth there, please ... and woah, calm the shakey bitters, thank you!
and now another dab of Basil Hayden ... thank you, a little more. Just a drop more, and ... there you are!!!

What might people be interested to know about your take on your character?
​
Claudius acted alone. 
[mic drop]
{mind blown}

What’s the biggest challenge in taking on this role?
Learning how to love myself as Claudius - and then hate Claudius as Hamlet's father's spirit ...

What’s your Starbucks order?
"Hi. I was wondering if you had some good coffee I could drink today ?"

What’s your favourite place in Toronto?
Any place within 2 feet of a friend!
