by Protesters from the environmental group Just Stop Oil interrupted a performance of The Tempest starring Sigourney Weaver in London’s West End on Jan. 27, with the audience responding with boos and jeers. Footage released by the group shows the star, who portrays Prospero in the late Shakespeare play, leaving the stage after the interruption. In the video, the protesters can be seen using a confetti cannon, with a sign unfurled reading, “Over 1.5 degrees is a global shipwreck,” a reference to the play’s plot.
