A STRICTLY LIMITED WEST-END SEASON 20 SEPT - 5 JAN 2020 HAROLD PINTER THEATRE 80 SEATS FOR 10 AT EVERY PERFORMANCE 'Warmth, wit and wizardry. Come one, come all and marvel' THE TELEGRAPH ABOUT THE SHOW Taking this new Show to 80+ theatres around the country, has been a joyful birthday present to myself. Ive played mainly in theatres I knew well as a young theatregoer and actor. On my birthday, I was in Bolton Town Hall where my dad used to work. It began last February with 15 theatres in Greater London and will end in Orkney. Soon I will be back in London, for a limited season in the West End, raising much-needed funds for theatre charities. For each performance at the Harold Pinter Theatre, Im glad that there will be 80 tickets at just 10. As for the show? Ask someone whos seen it. Come and find out. Ian Mckellen
