David Tennant exits stage during chaotic West End Macbeth performance

David Tennant was forced off stage during a performance of Macbeth at the Harold Pinter Theatre on Tuesday. The disruption occurred when an audience member returning from a bathroom break caused a disturbance after being denied immediate re-entry to his seat. The situation escalated, prompting theatre staff to intervene. The disruptive spectator eventually left the venue 15 minutes later, allowing the show to resume. A production spokesman confirmed that stopping the show was standard practice to manage the incident. Despite this disruption, the production has been successful, breaking box office records with over £2,150,000 in one day. Earlier in November, three performances were canceled due to illness among the cast.
