   How does McKellen manage to lose himself in Falstaff?

   • Just as Falstaff does with anyone within his character’s orbit, McKellen winningly winds the audience around his little finger, presenting a man now wheedling, now roaring, always to his own advantage. What he doesn’t always manage is to lose himself within the relationships of the play.

   Who is Hotspur in 'Falstaff' by Ian McKellen?

   • There’s Hotspur, the fiery insurgent intent on deposing Henry. And then there’s Falstaff, dissolute knight, serial chancer and one-time kingpin of his petty-criminal world, superbly portrayed here by Ian McKellen. McKellen, nearly 85, is magnificent.

   How does McKellen feel about Hal?

   • The robberies he and his gang conduct are vicious. And yet, in McKellen’s hands, there is something more poignant to him too — a genuine affection for Hal as an ersatz son, and a melancholy sense of his own mortality. Hal’s icy dismissal of Falstaff seems to knock the legs from under him.
