Rosamund Pike has called out a member of the audience for texting during the climatic scene of “Inter Alia,” for which the actress won an Olivier award in April.
The play follows Jessica Parks, a crown court judge dedicated to challenging the legal system’s approach to sexual violence, who is forced to contend with her own son being accused of rape.
“Inter Alia” was written by the Australian playwright Suzie Miller, who also wrote one-woman-play “Prima Facie,” starring Jodie Comer.
After a performance of “Inter Alia” on Saturday at Wyndham’s theater in London, according to the Guardian, Pike returned to the stage after the final bows. “I just wanted to say for anyone going to the theater, it’s a huge thing that we’re trying to give you. I am trying to tell you a story, and I’m feeling you, and I hope you’re feeling me too,” she said to the audience.
“Somebody was texting in this part,” she said, indicating a section of the theater. “You know who you are and I’m not going to single you out.
