I’m a huge fan of eccentric people – otherwise known as “me”. It’s all the more better when they’re eccentric gay people – otherwise known as “me”, I think. This new show Vicious only attracted me because of the involvement of both Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi, veterans of stage and screen and damn fine actors to boot. They play Freddie (McKellen) and Stuart (Jacobi), a couple who have spent the past forty-eight years living in a flat in Covent Garden’s and survive by mocking each other and being generally vicious. This show also features, as Freddie and Stuart’s friend Violet, famed-by-Harry Potter actress Frances de la Tour and as their neighbour Ash, Iwan Rheon. It is created by Mark Ravenhill, primarily known for his work on the stage and writer Gary Janetti, producer of Will & Grace.
