Acting Shakespeare, Henceforward, Othello
|
"The USA tour of my solo 'Acting Shakespeare' was a response to the failure of 'Wild Honey' on Broadway. 'Henceforward'
for a year in the West End was a response to my coming out as a gay man. My brief return
to the Royal Shakespeare Company led back to Trevor Nunn and the
familiar territory of subsidised theatrework." — Ian McKellen, October 1999 |
