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?

Re: Bizarre Love Triangle
Tue, 27 Aug 2002, 09:18 pmHello to all,
Well, "Bizarre Love Triangle" is a somewhat 'interesting' interpretation of the messages written in the other post...
In regards to the issue of the noisy spectators, which I have often encountered whilst watching a show, I would say you could only really go the sensible route which would involve a nice, polite "shhhh" or nothing at all until those concerned resort to what is "common sense" and eventually "shut up" or you could resort to the "Jeenie Little" way of handling the situation and just "shoot em". (you would probably have to watch Channel 10's "Beauty and the Beast" to get that one)
Either way, you'd have to measure up which is likely to draw the most attention.
