One of the hottest tickets or most popular performances in Los Angeles this month is to Shakespeare–yes, you read that correctly–Shakespeare.
Ian McKellen, the highly respected British actor, is coming to town to perform in a production of Shakespeare’s King Lear at the end of October. He is also well known for his roles or acting parts in many films, including X-Men and Lord of the Rings. The tickets for his performance sold out on the first day.
It’s very sad. I tried to get tickets, but the performance was already sold out. Some people with tickets are now selling them to make a profit, with tickets selling for over $1000!
If anyone has an extra ticket or want to contribute to (to give to) the “Send-Lucy-to-see-King-Lear Fund,” please let me know. I’m pretty good at washing cars and making spaghetti.
