"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 |
