Uncle Vernon Gets Stroppy.
Tue, 29 Nov 2005, 10:17 am"F**k Off!" Griffiths Tells Audience Member.
When an audience member's mobile phone went off for the third time in the matinee of Heroes at Wyndham's on Saturday (19th November), actor Richard Griffiths, in the middle of a long speech towards the end of the play, lost his temper and asked if it was going to ring again or if he could finish the play.
"ThereÂ’s 750 people sitting in here, and if I was them IÂ’d sue you for spoiling their afternoon," he said. "In fact, why donÂ’t you leave the theatre now? F*** off!"
Another mobile had rung twice in the previous night's performance, which led the play's producer David Pugh to tell SOLT's website, “We are fully supportive of Richard, and if anybody’s mobile phone rings we shall tell them to f*** off out of the theatre!”
The audience clearly supported him too: he received a standing ovation for his words."

Wed, 30 Nov 2005, 02:37 pmThe trouble is though the audience member who left the mobile phone on was probably some old fart, as that seems to be the type of clientele in this theatre. In fact I would think that some of the younger elements in the cast were the most distressed when up against mobile phones as they have the less experience in having to deal with it.
