The Guardian
|June 19, 2024
Ian McKellen was "in good spirits" and expected to make "a speedy and full recovery" after a fall during Monday evening's performance of Player Kings, a spokesperson for the Noël Coward theatre in London has said.
McKellen was taken to hospital after the incident. The audience was evacuated from the West End theatre and informed that the evening show was cancelled.
A spokesperson for the theatre later confirmed that yesterday evening's performance had also been cancelled "so lan can rest". McKellen was expected to next appear in tomorrow's performance.
McKellen, 85, who plays John Falstaff, was in a battle scene involving the Prince of Wales and Henry Percy when he fell off the front of the stage. As the house lights came up, the actor cried out in pain and staff rushed to help, the BBC reported.
