June 1989 - May 1992
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, October 1999
