Walking Out Of Performances at interval.

Walking out of a performance at interval or at any stage is serious bad form. Not only is it disrespectful to the cast, crew and anyone else associated with the show; it is a waste of money. The first act of travesties, for example, is confusing but the second act ties up most of the confusion. There are medical conditions in which case it is perfectly fine to leave at any stage(Unless they are faked), but I have no respect for anyone who leaves a performance because they don't understand it.

This seems to be turning into a discussion about one particular play, which I don't think was the intention. However, is it possible that some people left because, on the night I was there, interval did not come until around 9.40?
I think I agree with someone earlier who said something on the lines "they (the audience) pays their money and they takes their choice" I really don't think manners come into the equation.
