Ken Dodd est un Acteur Britannique né le 8 novembre 1927 à Liverpool (Royaume-uni)
Kenneth Arthur "Ken" Dodd, OBE (born 8 November 1927) is an English comedian, singer-songwriter and actor, identified by his trademark unruly hair and protruding teeth, his red, white and blue "tickling stick" and his famous, upbeat greeting of "How tickled I am!". He also created the world and characters of the Diddy Men, with 'diddy' being Liverpudlian slang for small.
He works mainly in the music hall tradition, although, in the past, has occasionally appeared in drama, including as Malvolio in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night on stage in Liverpool in 1971; on television in the cameo role of 'The Tollmaster' in the 1987 Doctor Who story Delta and the Bannermen; and as Yorick (in silent flashback) in Kenneth Branagh's film version of Shakespeare's Hamlet in 1996. In the 1960s his fame was such that he rivalled the Beatles as a household name. His records have sold millions worldwide.
He underwent a hernia operation in late 2007, forcing him to cancel a performance, something he has only ever otherwise done twice, due to bereavement, but he was back on stage within a month. Dodd presented the History of Liverpool Comedians at St George's Hall on 1 and 2 April 2008.
Dodd was a supporter of the Conservatives under Margaret Thatcher and campaigned during the 1979 general election campaign, which brought her to power. In the last rally, in Wembley Arena, he introduced her on to the stage.
Ken Dodd: The Biography by Stephen Griffin was published on 15 September 2005 (ISBN 1-84317-123-6). His own book, Look At It My Way, was published in November 2009. In July 2010, the regional UK airline Eastern Airways named one of their Jetstream 41 aircraft after Dodd, in celebration of one year of scheduled services to Liverpool, and the support that Dodd shows for the region and in particular the airport.

Hamlet est un jeune prince danois. Accablé par le décès de son père et toujours livré à son propre chagrin, il voit la Cour et sa mère reprendre (trop) paisiblement le fil de leur existence. Claudius, frère du défunt monarque et oncle d'Hamlet, est proclamé roi et épouse son ex-belle-sœur. Sans réconfort, Hamlet se morfond, en proie à la mélancolie, jusqu'à ce qu'un soir, il rencontre le fantôme de son père qui lui dévoile une effroyable vérité sur la cause de sa mort. Claudius est en fait le meurtrier du Vieux Roi. Le spectre réclame donc vengeance.
