Richard III and the Royal National Theatre
Richard Eyre was now artistic director of
the Royal National Theatre. Under his guidance, I flung myself into
the rigours of acting, producing and touring at home and abroad, aided by
two of the brightest young directors, Deborah Warner and Sean Mathias. — Ian McKellen,
