Hi! I went to see the other day "woman in black" ( brilliant!) and I could not believe ( my ears!)when I realised that there was a family behind me munching crisps during the performance! I would not mind them eating a sandwich but CRISPS! It got on my nerves instantly and I looked at them with angry eyes but they just became more cautious when eating those bloody crisps.eventually they stopped-the bag of crisps must have been emptied. It is unrespectful for the comedians and for the audience; personnally I don't go to the theatre everyday it is quite pricey.I had the same problem for a flamenco show during a guitarist solo.Looking back I was really surprised the first time I went to the cinema in England as well all these people munching and leaving the place in pigsty...
In a theatre it is even worse and I am just wondering if it would not been a good idea to the theatres to make sure food is not allowed during the show because apparently some people do not have any manners or they are a bit thick or maybe both..
Have you ever had the same experience?
