Bad Behaviour at a Show

I was there too (much further back) we felt really sorry for Christina having to deal with that, thank goodness the lady in question didn't come back after the interval.
I was impeccably behaved, of course, even though a couple of mulled wines had been taken. Was a fun show.

I love most of the plays I've seen Upstairs, but I hate most of the people I've spent time with up there. Good work, everyone who refused to move!

Had to laugh at EastEnders tonight. The worthy citizens of Walford have been putting on a play, a version of A Christmas Carol. Danny Dyer's character, Mick Carter, was going apoplectic at members of the audience stuffing their faces with food during the play. I fear his outburst will fall on stony ground, however.

Go Viscount Falkland!

Perhaps he’s left it rather late, but, at the age of 81, Viscount Falkland promises to become a household name — by championing those who fight back against people using their mobiles without consideration.

The viscount — whose full name is Lucius Edward William Plantagenet Cary — recalls an evening in Paris when he took his 21-year-old goddaughter and her parents and one of her aunts to the theatre.

‘Just as the lights came down, my goddaughter saw it fit to send a text,’ says his lordship, who sensed that the light emitted by his goddaughter’s phone would irk those sitting nearby.

‘I said: “For God’s sake, put the thing off.” ’ His goddaughter disregarded him — causing him to reach what he describes as ‘breaking point’.

‘I grabbed her mobile and I threw it into the audience,’ he adds, conceding that, in the heat of the moment, there might have been some collateral damage.

‘I saw it bounce off the head of what could have been a Frenchman — or, indeed, anyone — and then back into the aisle.’

His goddaughter was ‘totally astonished’ — but not her aunt, who said: ‘Well done. I have been longing to do that for a long time.’

One feels rather sorry for the Frenchman in question.

LOL. 

Woman at the Donmar tonight has taken her Ugg style boots off so she can sit barefoot. One boot is currently in front of the vacant seat next to me. More on this story as it develops

Or feed the boot a few peanuts

How's that sporadic twitch in your leg doing these days?

"At which point my old war wound kicked in as predicted and sadly my size 11 DMs made contact with a couple of toes."


Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

I went to see a play at the Bush theatre years back. I was the first one in and picked my ideal seat at the end of an aisle to allow extra legroom. Right before the start a group of four Ladies enter and complain that they can't all sit together, they then come to the conclusion to sit in two's. One woman points at me saying I should move like I wasn't even there. I politely told her next time try to arrive early and I won't move from my seat. This also happened at the Southwark Playhouse, a couple enter right at the end.

The audience was pretty bad at this on 30th Dec. Two women in the block next to me clearly thought they were at a kareoke night and started singly really to the songs they knew. The kids behind were bored and spent the whole first act rustling packets of sweets and there was a girl who must have only been about 6 that was constantly asking her mum really loudly what was happening.
