Words from Ian McKellen"Robert Eddison was a magnificently arrogant and pathetic old king, Edward Petherbridge a definitive Fool. I was Edgar, another Shakespearian who goes on an heroic journey to maturity and self-awareness. In preparing my disguise as Mad Tom, I flung off all my clothes and stood briefly onstage as the bare fork'd man. This was a simple image to counterpoint the impenetrable obscurity of Edgar's language - and didn't often get a snigger. Otherwise, nothing remarkable; although we went to USA." — From the programme for ACTING SHAKESPEARE
