His View From the Bridge is by all accounts one of the great American stage performances.

He is (perhaps not coincidentally) both very smart and very bad at acting

Yes, Ian McKellen citing that "Hand D" speech for Thomas More as "William Shakespeare" is, uhh, overly certain.

But I've been being very, very polite about *Hamnet* for months. And that was just to avoid being a killjoy.

McKellen's trying to make an important point. Let the man cook.

Fortunately, he died in agony a few months later. So at least there's that!

It's an unbelievable performance. He could have absolutely smashed Benedick and Malvolio and a few others. Plus I suspect he would have been an all-time-great Moliere lead. Give that dude Misanthrope or Tartuffe or Imaginary Invalid and let him cook.
