The Player Kings' will be the first new London production from the great Robert Icke since 2019, and comprises Icke's own adaptation of Shakespeare's 'Henry IV Part 1 and Part 2' - his first crack at the Bard since his transcendent Andrew Scott-starring 'Hamlet'.
Funny, tragic and with an awful lot of lines, it's generally regarded as a toss-up between Hamlet and Falstaff over which is the greatest role Shakespeare ever wrote.
Whatever the case, this should be a remarkable production that'll doubtless have a tremendous rest of cast. We don't know who'll be in it, but we don't really need to know. McKellen has one of the greatest careers of any actor who has ever lived, but you wouldn't bet against this being his crow...
