I imagine when I saw Ian McKellan in King Lear I thought it was the first time I'd seen him because somehow I've managed to forget this. Actually it comes back a bit to me - I seem to remember it being interminable. It looks like some Italian family drama thing which I hope they had fun doing but it does seem a bit of a waste of everyone's time.
