Covering McKellen

More about the book

"The stage is set for what promises to be one of the greatest tours in the history of theatre. A whole host of stars led by Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Trevor Nunn set off to take the world by storm with their new production of 'King Lear' - only to endure injuries, critical backlash and almost constant controversy. As understudy to the King himself, Weston's frank and funny account takes us right through from the London rehearsals, to a Stratford Seasons, out across the globe and back to the glittering West End." -- Back cover.
