When such a venerable pairing as Ian McKellen and Roger Allam appear together on a theatrical billing, it would be rude not to sit up and at the very least inquire what had piqued their joint interest in the script. FRANK AND PERCY is the sort of gentle talk-fest which puts this reviewer in mind of Alec Guinness and Edward Herrmann’s two-man stint in A Walk in the Woods some thirty-five years ago, and here the performers ooze a similar stage experience and collective, knowing charm.
