Woo Hoo!

murasaki_1966 just rang to say she's booked the tickets to see Ian McKellen's King Lear in Melbourne.

(this almost makes up for missing the chance to meet him at a Short and Sweet workshop two years ago.)

Lear is a huge role. There is so much anger and hurt and pain in it. Actors have felt crippled by it afterwards (Richard 3 has a similar effect). I'd be limiting my performances if I was doing it.

And, my darling, if you think you're elated, I'm estatic (sic).

I meant, of course, ecstastic.

The 3 hour running time of the play can't be doing him any favours, either - unless they've *seriously* edited it down (which, given its 7pm start time, I doubt).
