September 22, 2020 - 08:57 BST Emmy Griffiths After starring as the terrifying serial killer Dennis Nilsen, David Tennant has confirmed his next project - and he is returning to the theatre.
So what is the show about? The play is set on the outset of World War II, and the official synopsis reads:"German professor John Halder – music-lover, intellectual and good person, finds himself swept up in a rising tide of hate as the Third Reich rises to power in the country he loves."David recently received acclaim for his portrayal of the serial killer Dennis Nilsen, who was convicted of murdering six men in the 1980s and was thought to have killed up to 12 people in total.
Speaking about the role to Radio Times, David said:"What we didn’t want to do is titillate or turn Des into a horror movie. That is not the kind of story we are trying to tell. What we are doing is trying to figure out who this creature was."Why he did what he did, in terms of what went on when he picked up men and took them back to his flat – the only real witness we have to any of that is Dennis Nilsen. But he’s proved himself to be an unreliable narrator on many occasions.
