Just Stop Oil protesters interrupted play starring Sigourney Weaver
Two Just Stop Oil protesters interrupted a play starring Sigourney Weaver — bringing the show to a halt with a confetti cannon.
The audience let out a storm of boos as a stagehand came out and told Weaver to exit the stage before walking over to the disruptive protesters. The stagehand appears to convince the pair to remove themselves, and audience members briefly cheer as they are escorted off stage.The protesters — Hayley Walsh, a mother of three, and Richard Weir, a mechanical engineer — disrupted the show because they were “demanding the UK government phase out fossil fuel burning by 2030,” a
“1.5 degrees is a global shipwreck we can’t ignore. Wildfires in California, deadly floods in Valencia and hundreds of thousands without power in the UK this weekend. This isn’t a distant, future problem. We need a global treaty to stop fossil fuel burning and a global emergency response.”In the new staging of the Shakespeare classic, Sigourney portrays the storm-creating magician Prospero, a role typically played by a man.
