They give voice to the depths of our emotions, they provide a moral compass when ours has gone awry,they nurture the goodness in our human nature. What better voice than that of Sir Ian to deliver this magnificent poetic argument? #Shakespeare #KennedyCenter #Theater
- It was gut wrenching to watch this brilliant actor deliver a 400 year old monologue that perfectly mirrored 2026. It’s not the first time Sir Ian’s acting skills have left me simultaneously angry, sad, and tearful, but it is the first time I’ve felt that the words spoken will affect my ‘tomorrow’s’.
