For six weeks only people staying in hotels in London will have the chance to see Olivier Award-winning actor Patrick Stewart star as William Shakespeare at the Young Vic theatre.

In the lead role of Edward Bond's eagerly anticipated play, Stewart plays the Bard himself in a fictional account of his life post-writing.

Shakespeare has seen his glory days come and go and now faces the same moral quandary of his own King Lear, what shall he do with his wealth and power?

Having won rapturous acclaim for his roles in Macbeth, The Tempest and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, Stewart shows his magnitude as an actor as he stars in Bingo: Scenes of Money and Death.

Those who have not seen him perform on stage may be more familiar with his roles as Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men franchise and as Captain Jean Luc Picard in Star Trek.

Bingo: Scenes of Money and Death by Edward Bond starring Patrick Stewart runs at the Young Vic theatre from February 16th until March 31st.

Matinee performances are held on most Wednesdays and Saturdays and tickets cost between £10 and £29.50.
