A bold and innovative one-man show, Ian McKellen’s Acting Shakespeare blends stand-up comedy, music, and drama into an unforgettable theatrical experience. Inspired by Ian McKellen’s original Acting Shakespeare, this adaptation incorporates insights from James Shapiro’s Shakespeare in a Divided America and features musical selections from Stephen Sondheim.
With a fusion of comedy, drama, and music reminiscent of Bo Burnham’s Inside and Make Happy, this production reimagines Shakespeare’s legacy through a contemporary lens.
