This was wonderful. The entire nearly half hour interview was also a great watch I may have missed for a while without this, so thank you for sharing.

(In the clip at this link, we get his introductory framing remarks about the monologue, but when I first saw it this morning—on Instagram—it was as a standalone clip. And, really, it didn’t need an introduction.) https://www.nme.com/news/tv/ian-mckellen-performs-400-year-old-pro-immigrant-shakespeare-monologue-live-on-stephen-colbert-3927710 [https://www.nme.com/news/tv/ian-mckellen-performs-400-year-old-pro-immigrant-shakespeare-monologue-live-on-stephen-colbert-3927710] Hope you enjoy it.
