In my case, we are talking about 15 minutes before the start of the show, and an usher who was repeatedly and increasingly brusque despite reassurances that the phone was being imminently switched off. As 'anonymous' said, it creates exactly the wrong kind of atmosphere in the show, and one the theatre can ill-afford given its regular audience size.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215804811450960599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675546833451003934.post-17889310439353467022010-02-24T18:08:00.318+00:002010-02-24T18:08:00.318+00:00The mobile phone thing happened to me as well - as...The mobile phone thing happened to me as well - as I was switching mine off.

I do wonder how many people will trek over to Kingston to see it though, it was a very painfully long journey ome for me on a cold, wet night.<br /><br />I think the main problem with Puck is that he has so many well-known lines that it is almost a crime to not deliver them properly: I barely heard the "girdle round about the earth" line at all.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215804811450960599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675546833451003934.post-17772706131400404782010-02-19T14:38:50.629+00:002010-02-19T14:38:50.629+00:00Couldn't agree more: a true focus on the text ...Couldn't agree more: a true focus on the text and how it was spoken.
