Magneto visits Bolton School for Boys
Yes, it's that old fellow from X Men: The Last Stand! Classically trained Shakespearean actor Sir Ian McKellen returned to the school he studied at today to talk to drama students about his profession. He concluded the session by reciting a line from Sir Thomas More, a play written in part by Shakespeare but, amazingly, only saw its first performance in 1964. As it happened, McKellen was playing the part of More in this production, and thus was probably the last actor to ever deliver virgin Shakespearean prose to an audience.
