I’d love to find the show this is from so I can watch/hear this scene’s delivery in full.
This looks like the greatest show - The Master and Magneto being a snarky gay couple. A ship I didn’t even know I needed.
A happily married gay couple, one of whom is Stratfordian, the other Oxfordian.

BENT - 1979 - Tom Bell and Ian McKellen
Making love without touching.
This is one of the most upsetting, powerful plays I have ever read. The scene where they make love without touching actually moved me to tears on the page alone.
There’s a scene in this play in which Ian McKellen’s character Max is forced to beat his lover to death on the train to Auschwitz. During one performance, Ian McKellen became so upset, he actually defecated on stage.

The world is a mean place, so I’m bringing this picture back.

I love this more than I can express.
Just a friendly reminder that Sir Ian McKellen occasionally does drag:
