Sir Ian McKellen ‘Recovering Well’ After On-Stage Fall, Set for West End Return
Sir Ian McKellen, best known for his role in “The Lord of the Rings,” is “recovering well” after an on-stage fall during a fight scene in Monday’s production of “Player Kings,” according to a witness who spoke to Sky News. The incident occurred at the Noel Coward Theatre in London, where the 85-year-old actor is currently starring as John Falstaff.
McKellen “cried out in pain” following the fall, which has led to the cancellation of two nights of the West End play. Despite the setback, fans have been assured that the veteran actor is on the mend and will return to the stage once he is ready.
The production of “Player Kings” continues to attract significant attention, and McKellen’s anticipated return is eagerly awaited by theatre-goers.
