Sir Ian McKellen has decided to put on a series of shows to raise money for Christchurch.

The actor, who is currently living in New Zealand to reprise his role of Gandalf in The Hobbit movie, wants to help restore one of the city's theatres that was badly damaged during last year's earthquake. McKellen will put on 11 one-man shows at local theatres around New Zealand throughout May and June, according to AAP. 

Audience members will get the opportunity to ask the star questions about his life and career and will also be invited on stage to help him act out some scenes.
