The Shakespeare Theatre Company is honored to present a one-night-only performance of Sir Ian McKellen’s one-man show A Knight in Harman Hall. While Sir Ian has long been known as one of the world’s great Shakespearean actors, he has recently attracted wider fame and attention for his portrayal of Gandalf in the Lord o...f the Rings trilogy and as well as his role as Magneto in the popular X-Men films. His distinguished acting career had its origins on the stage, where he has appeared in over 250 productions, garnering multiple Tony and Olivier Awards. In 1979 he was awarded the Commander of the British Empire for his services to drama.

His solo performance weaves together stories of his early experiences in the theatre, his advocacy of GLBT rights and his more recent world-wide acclaim and film celebrity. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear the personal and heartfelt story of one of the greatest living actors of stage and screen.

Tickets: $250, $150, $125, $95
