London Theatre Gets New Name to Honor Judi Dench While She Can See It

London's Shaftesbury Theatre will be renamed the Judi Dench Theatre in 2027, celebrating the 91-year-old actor's 70-year career. Dench has revealed that an eye condition affecting her vision has ended her stage work. The theatre is naming itself after her now—while she's alive to witness it—rather than waiting until later, when such a tribute might come too late.
