Actor falls off stage during performance in London
Sir Ian McKellen was taken to hospital after falling off stage during a performance of Player Kings at the Nol Coward theater in London.
The 85-year-old actor was in a fight scene when he lost his footing and fell. It is not known if he was injured.
The audience was evacuated from the theater and informed that the evening show was canceled.
Player Kings is a production of Henry IV, Parts One and Two, and began its 12-week run in the West End in April.
Sir Ian – who plays John Falstaff – was circling a battle scene involving the Prince of Wales and Henry Percy, when he fell from center stage. As the house lights came on, the actor screamed and staff rushed to help him.
A member of the public told the BBC the incident was “very shocking”.
“I really hope he goes well,” said Sandro Trapani.
“From what I saw, he was conscious because he was asking for help.”
Sir Ian's previous Shakespeare credits include roles as Richard II, Coriolanus, Iago, Richard III, King Lear and Macbeth. He is also set to play the role of Hamlet, in a new film adaptation directed by Sean Mathias.
His screen credits include Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, and Magneto in the X-Men films, as well as roles in Beauty and the Beast, The Da Vinci Code and Mr. Holmes.
The actor also appeared in 10 episodes of ITV soap Coronation Street as scheming romance author Mel Hutchwright.
Five years ago, Sir Ian was forced to cancel a performance of King Lear at London's Duke of York theater after injuring his leg while running to catch a train, but he made sure that the audience has a good time sitting on stage and answering questions. .
