The audience from Hell
Sun, 8 Mar 2009, 02:14 pmThis week I heard of the latest nightmare to hit the theatre – school kids in the front row.
So what is new? As well as talking, texting and slouching, they pull faces or make gestures at the actors throughout the performance, hence trying everything in their power to throw the cast off course.
Last night...
Thu, 12 Mar 2009, 08:53 amLast night at Merchant of Venice, we had around 50 school students attending the show. Having been an observer of this thread, I was curious to see what would happen. The verdict:
Well behaved, attentive, no tell-tale glows from mobile phone usage, and the only unwelcome distraction was a bit of chip packet rustling when the second half opened, which quickly subsided.
Oh yes, and there was a bit of righteous murmuring when Shylock got his come-uppance. But I think that just added to the performance.
Personally speaking,I think these kids and others like them should be welcome at anybody's show.
