We all remember the amazing “bromance” (as it got labelled) that received worldwide attention between Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen – fueled by rather wonderful photos that the two of them took during their tour of the UK & USA with “Waiting For Godot” and “No Man’s Land”, which likely goes down in history as the most successful social media campaign for a theatre company – ever.
Well, this Saturday, we revisit these two friends and actors as they chat together about their shows, the pressures of producing as well as acting, their careers to date, their influences, why plays should be experienced and played – not read in school, their film work, the importance of keeping theatre ticket costs reasonable for students and much more, courtesy of the Screen Actors Guild Foundation. Enjoy!

Perfect for a relaxed Saturday morning coffee viewing. Enjoy!
