#IanMcKellan mesmerisingly superb in his delivery and command of himself, the material and the room - class act and masterclass all in one, and done on the hoof.
I salute him, and the power of art to articulate truth

Because of the Stephen Colbert show last night, a lot of people are probably going to be looking up #IanMcKellan's other performances of the #Shakespeare monologue from the play #ThomasMore .

Here's one from BBC Shakespeare Live back in 2016, with a foreword by #CatherineTate.

M. Tate says May Day. For context, the setting is specifically 1517-05-01, named Evil May Day in the #history books.
