Sir Ian Mckellen Injury Forced 'King Lear' Cancellation, but He Entertained Audience for 90 Minutes Anyway
Theatergoers expecting to see Sir Ian McKellen perform King Lear today were treated to a unique experience. The King Lear performance was unfortunately canceled after McKellen injured his leg trying to catch a train to get to the theater. But McKellen wasn’t going to let the audience go home disappointed. He sat on stage and spoke with the crowd and performed some Shakespearean scenes and even got into character as Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings.
