Ian McKellen is on the mend after falling off the stage during a performance at London’s Noel Coward Theatre. After toppling from the front of the stage, McKellen reportedly cried out as the lights came up in the venue. Audience members, who were ushered out of the theater, were rattled by the incident, according to broadcaster Paul Nero. The production also canceled Tuesday’s performance so McKellen could rest, the theater told the Times. “Thank you to our audience and the general public for their well wishes following Ian’s fall during this evening’s performance of Player Kings,” the statement read.
