Truly, people like Ian McKellen don't usually come to Ottawa. Unfortunately. But that was when he was less famous internationally, and the National Arts Centre had recently opened and they were very ambitious - they got all sorts of incredible shows - not just the home-grown stuff we seem to get now. The Stratford Festival used to one of their plays to Ottawa every year - that was before everyone decided they coulsn't afford to tour any more.
