1st Night Photos: McKellen, Dench & Rees reunite at What You Will

Last night (18 September 2012) saw a reunion of cast members of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s seminal 1976 staging of Macbeth.

Roger Rees, who played Malcolm in the acclaimed Trevor Nunn production, has brought his one-man Shakespeare show What You Will to the Apollo Theatre, and he was joined in his dressing room afterwards by Ian McKellen and Judi Dench – who played Mr and Mrs M.

What You Will is billed as an “hysterical (and occasionally historical) 90-minute gallop through all things Shakespearean”, and continues at the Apollo until 6 October. Don’t miss our OUTING on 27 September 2012, including a post-show Q&A with Rees – click here for details.
