Ian McKellen’s Tweets

BOOM! 💥 Best Event Theatre at the Fringe! “This Hamlet‘s unrivalled excellence will secure its place in history as one of the finest re-tellings of the Bard’s work, and those of us lucky enough to see it will never forget the profound impact it had on its audience”

At 17, represents a generation that rejects old-fashioned homophobia in football and elsewhere: those who haven’t yet grown up as he has. He sets an example. No wonder so many of us, gay and everyone else, admire & treasure him as a hero. What a goal he's scored!

"What a piece of work is a man… how infinite in faculties, in form and moving, how express and admirable in action." The same could be said of Peter Schaufuss and his company of wonderful dancers. It’s inspiring to watch them and work with them.

I am very sorry for anyone who has sent in photos and items to be signed by this fraudulent impersonator. I understand that the promoter has offered to make refunds as soon as possible.

I have been made aware that a man impersonating me, and two women posing as my representatives have recently approached a promoter in Kent, with the offer of a “private signing” by Ian McKellen.
