This man silenced the entire studio. You could hear a pin drop. (Sadly those who need to see this 1. Won’t. 2. If they do, they’ll not understand.)

This audience got a free monologue from THE Sir Ian McKellen….just because they wanted to laugh at Stephen.

When I say I can’t read Shakespeare but I’ll always listen to it, this is precisely what I mean.
