(1,178 posts)as would be expected from such a stellar cast. However, it did get wear a bit thin towards the end of the second season.

(45,319 posts)rarely produced in the US. Worth reading. Even more worth seeing if the chance arises, Sir Ian starred in his play 'The Cut' my favorites are 'Some Explicit Polaroids' and 'Pool: No Water'.

Uh, no, I don't have Windows. Somebody in India was told to "screw off".

(14,691 posts)I saw his one-man show "Acting Shakespeare" in NYC maybe 40 years ago. I got a seat in the first row of the nosebleed section, at eye level with the fancy molding, which is NOT to be construed as a complaint. Later I read that he always stipulates in his contracts that some seats be affordable. I think I paid $10.00. THANK YOU SIR IAN!
