Today's Throwback Thursday post is a selection of photos of David Tennant in the 1999 production of Vassa at the Albery Theatre. David starred in the play as Pavel, the Daily Telegraph review said at the time "David Tennant is flesh-creepingly horrible as the crippled Pavel - you know you ought to feel sorry for the hunchbacked little nerd but his snivelling self-pity repels all sympathy."

Also starring in the play were Shelia Hancock as Vassa, Anne Marie Duff as Lyudmill and Ron Cook as Prokhor.
