Rosamund Pike calls out audience member for texting during show

Given how many posters there are here, there must be those who think it's reasonable behaviour to text or film during performances.

We watched RP in this play (Inter Alia) and it's an incredibly intense experience. I just can't understand the mentality of someone who would pull out their phone and text during a performance.

There needs to be harsher consequences. Then people would stop doing it.

It’s a theatre, not the justice system
