Sir Ian McKellen Dances With Anthony Hopkins After Stage Fall


Ian McKellen fell off stage during a London performance of 'Player Kings' last week.

"So he fell down the orchestra pit just in front of our eyes and he was screaming something like, 'Help,' and I thought it was part of the play because there were a lot of wounded people, like, you know, it's a war act, and yeah, it was quite shocking," she said. Since the accident, during a performance of Player Kings last night, my injuries have been diagnosed and treated by a series of experts, specialists and nurses working for the National Health Service. Afterwards, the Player Kings team announced that David Semark would be taking on McKellen's role of Sir John Falstaff for the final three scheduled performances in London.
