Worcester College is delighted to announce that Sir Ian McKellen CH has been elected as a Distinguished Visiting Fellow for an initial period of three years.

Sir Ian will come to College twice a year, when there will be “in conversation” events and masterclasses for the benefit of students. Sir Ian is working with the Provost, Sir Jonathan Bate, on a project to create iPad apps that will make Shakespeare freshly accessible to young people. The pilot app, The Tempest, with Sir Ian as Prospero and his longstanding fellow actor Sir Derek Jacobi as Gonzalo, has recently been released.
