My audience experience last night at Sunset 🫠
Apologies if I’m overreacting but when I got to my seat last night I was stunned to see the people I was about to sit beside was eating a Jollibee’s. I love a fast food meal every now and then but the stench of the fried chicken in the theatre was so unexpected and overwhelming. Then not even 30 seconds after sitting down, the woman sitting directly behind me brought a burger in and started eating that. Then the show starts and as I’m already very distracted by the aroma, the woman who was eating the Jollibee’s has her phone out THE ENTIRETY of Act 1. I was in absolutely disbelief. She just had the same WhatsApp chat open most of the time that she wasn’t sending/receiving texts on then flicking through instagram every now and then. Thankfully we were the second to last row so the amount of people that this was irritating was probably minimal. At intermission I asked the woman I was sitting next to who came with her if she could ask her to not be on her phone and she translated this to her. And in fairness to her, she didn’t pull her phone out at all in Act 2 so I think it may have been a case of that she didn’t know the etiquette. So yeah, sorry for this rant, but it meant I got to intermission without a clue what Act 1 was about so if someone could fill me in so I understand the story I would really appreciate it 🫶🏻
