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.
Speaking of graduates
Thu, 12 Mar 2009, 06:23 pmThe worst audience I have ever witnessed was for a performance by Swinburne students. Naturally 9/10 audience members were friends or family of students, and FOH does actually serve alcohol. This meant that large groups of young (ie. 18-mid 20s) people are both drinking and laughing obnoxiously - often at stuff that is only funny because they happen to know the person onstage. Usually it's not too bad, but this last show was horrendous. I was at some points tempted to turn around and smack the people over the head, and it got so bad that my sister actually did say something; neither of us ever confront people like that.
