News No Man's Land, Starring Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, Begins Post-Show Talkbacks Jan. 23 A series of talkbacks following performances of No Man's Land, starring Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, as well as Billy Crudup and Shuler Hensley, begins Jan. 23 at the Cort Theatre.

Subsequent talkback dates include Feb. 6, Feb. 13, Feb. 20 and Feb. 27.

Moderated by the production's director Sean Mathias, the cast discusses Harold Pinter's play and answers audience questions about the production and the repertory season, which also includes a production of Waiting for Godot. Audience members may stay for the talkback free of charge.

"In No Man's Land, two elderly writers, having met in a London pub, continue drinking and talking into the night," press notes state. "All might be well, until the return home of two younger men. Their relationships are exposed, with menace and hilarity, in one of Pinter's most entertaining plays."

Read the Playbill feature "Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen Arrive at No Man's Land While Waiting for Godot."

Both productions feature sets and costumes by Stephen Brimson Lewis, lighting by Peter Kaczorowski, sound by Rob Milburn and Michael Bodeen, projections by Zachary Borovay and hair by Tom Watson. Waiting for Godot played a critically acclaimed, sold-out run in London's West End in 2009 with McKellen and Stewart. No Man's Land played a recent, pre-Broadway engagement at Berkeley Repertory Theatre.
