Singapore says Nix to Sir Ian's Naughty Bits

For an upcoming tour stop in Singapore this summer, the Royal Shakespeare Company has agreed to make Ian McKellen keep his knickers on during the storm scene in "King Lear," so as to avoid the theatrical equivalent of an 'R'-rating in the city.

I guess it was either that or get caned.

Guardian's Lyn Gardner has humorous analysis, as always.
