Ian McKellen has been hospitalized after falling off the stage during a performance of Player Kings on the West End in London. BBC News shared that he was in a fight scene with two other actors when he reportedly fell off the front of the stage and cried for help as the house lights came on. The theater was evacuated, and the next show was canceled. Per McKellen’s team, Noël Coward Theatre released a statement reassuring that following a scan from the NHS team, he will “make a speedy and full recovery” and that McKellen is in “good spirits.” They also confirmed that Tuesday’s show has been canceled “so Ian can rest.” They also thank two doctors in the audience by their first names, Rachel and Lee, for their assistance during the fall. McKellen plays Sir John Falstaff in the adaptation of Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2, with performances continuing until the end of the month.
