Actors have vented their fury at two audience members who watched England’s World Cup penalty shoot-out on their phones in the front row of a musical.
Titanic The Musical actor Niall Sheehy said the women “not only followed the penalty shootout on their phone, but also said ‘yesss’ on each goal scored”.
He declared: “You are the most ignorant audience members I have ever had the misfortune to perform in front of.”
The match clashed with a performance at Nottingham Theatre Royal on Tuesday.
The game’s dramatic climax saw England beat Colombia in the last 16 and progress to the quarter-finals.
But some audience members couldn’t resist keeping up with the match on their phones, despite having a different kind of drama unfolding on stage.
