Banned, not a joke. Because there is a marked number of incidents around the play. It doesn't matter if it is rational or not - it happens. So, banned.
But I want to know more
Ones I remember:
- Opening night, actress slipped on a stair, and fractured her ankle.
- Mirror in the changerooms had its hook break (warden said internal manufacturing defect, could not be seen ahead of time), and smashes an actor in the head. Concussion.
- A door jammed after the weather changed. Someone tried to open it without realising, and dislocated their shoulder. (200 year old building.)
This happens in my thirty year old house! The more things change, the more they stay the same!
