CRY FROM WOMAN HOLDS UP PLAY.
DECLARES SHE SAW HER LIFE STORY ON THE STAGE. LONDON, August 29. “Stop! Stop! I cannot bear this any longer.” With this agonised cry a woman silenced Mr Robert Loraine in the midst of his frantic outb.urst in “The Father,” Strindberg’s drama at Everyman Theatre, Hampstead. She was a middle-aged woman, seated in the stalls, and her cry sent a thrill through the theatre. She apologised to the management afterwards, and said the play reminded her of something in her own life. “The Father” is the story of a husband and wife struggling against each other to secure control of the education of their daughter, and finally the father is driven insane.
Mr Loraine was forced to stop. Then from the front of the stage he quietly told the woman that it was impossible to finish the play there. After a break of several minutes the drama was resumed. The woman remained to the end.
