Steven Berkoff and Emmanuella Cole will not be part of production when it opens on Monday
An age- and gender-blind production of Hamlet starring Sir Ian McKellen will open this week without two of its actors amid claims of bitter disagreement and tensions.
The pandemic-delayed show is remarkable because it stars the 82-year-old McKellen in a role he last played 50 years ago, one that is normally a star vehicle for younger actors.
