Will you PLEASE be quiet??!!
Mon, 26 Aug 2002, 09:26 amHey kids,
Not wanting to take attention away from the interesting three way romance developing in the "Reviewers in the Missed" thread, an interesting point has been raised way down there in the Reviews forum; what do you do about noisy audience members?
The amazing Mr Kelso in the equally amazing Copenhagen at the Octogon very recently apparently employed the simple break of character and "Would you please be quiet, the rest of the audience is tying to listen." before returning to character and picking up from where he had been so rudely interupted.
Is this the best way to go about it? Or should you just ignore it and hope it goes away? Or send a runner out in the interval to hunt down the culprits and have a quiet word? Or get the cast and crew together in the car park afterwards to make sure these inconsiderate audience members never bother another actor again?
Suggestions? Stories? Annecdotes?

Tue, 27 Aug 2002, 11:50 amre: the latecomers thing... i don't get it..
over the past few months i have spent a considerable amount of time doing FOH at The Blue Room and Rech etc and i find it surprising how many people show up at 8.10pm for a 8pm performance, i know it's not as drastic as 30mins late but if i am going to a performance or the movies, i will always be there 15mins before it starts. but that's just me... and then there is those that show up 30mins late and wonder why they can't get in!!!
It gets to the stage where shows schedueled to start at 8 are never starting on time because we know there is going to be latecomers...
i just don't think it's good etiquette thats all...
cheers
