During Monday night’s performance of The Tempest at Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London, star Sigourney Weaver was interrupted by Just Stop Oil activists wielding a confetti cannon and an orange banner, prompting an announcement to halt the show. The group’s protest, meant to draw attention to the dangers of climate change, lasted less than a minute before they were escorted off stage and the performance continued. Known for their disruptive demonstrations at cultural landmarks, Just Stop Oil is advocating for a complete phase-out of fossil fuels by 2030 and aims to draw attention to the urgent climate crisis, as scientists warn of devastating consequences.
