A trio of climate protestors became the enemy of the audience on Broadway.At Thursday night’s performance of “An Enemy of the People,” starring Jeremy Strong and Michael Imperioli, three environmental activists interrupted the start of the second act with shouts of “no theater on a dead planet!” The Post witnessed one person walk onto the stage of the Circle In The Square Theatre on W. 50th Street, where the “Succession” and “Sopranos” stars were in the middle of a tense scene.
The man spoke briefly before being escorted off by security and cast members.“I am very, very sorry to interrupt your night and this amazing performance. I am a theater artist,” he said.“The oceans are rising.
It will swallow this city and this entire theater whole. I am putting my career on the line because we are not doing anything about this crisis.
The water is coming for us!”Imperioli later shouted at another, “Go back to drama school!” But Strong, remaining in character, said, “Let them speak.”A group called Extinction Rebellion took credit for the mid-performance demonstration. In a statement, they said, “Today’s action highlights the failure of governments and corporations to treat climate and ecological breakdown as the crisis it is.”Because the second half of Henrik Ibsen’s play begins at a raucous town meeting, concerns poisoned water and, in this production, already involves audience participation, many in the theater believed the shouters were a part of the show.One audience member, Ashley Wolfgang, wrote on X, “You know you’ve seen too much experimental theatre when you immediately assume climate protestors in the middle of ‘Enemy of the People’ is part of it.”However, when the final activist was escorted out, much of the room

which last played Broadway 12 years ago, is the sort of not-quite-ripped-from-the-headlines play that could be about any fill-in-the-blank issue that’s on the viewer’s mind that day. It’s relevant by design.Exhibiting restraint — well, almost — director Sam Gold avoids making obvious modern parallels to needlessly buttress its potency.
Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic At various points in “An Enemy of the People,” the Jeremy Strong-led production of Henrik Ibsen’s classic, the greatest entertainment comes from watching the faces opposite you. That’s not a critique of director Sam Gold’s work. It’s hard to think of a show that could put to better use the unique in-the-round structure of Circle in the Square Theatre than this one.
Whether or not the climate activists who interrupted a critics preview of Broadway’s An Enemy of the People last week persuasively made their “water’s coming for us all” message isn’t for me to say, but I will note that the disruption spoke very well for this production.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Climate change protestors disrupted Thursday night’s performance of Broadway‘s “An Enemy of the People.” The disturbance briefly halted the play and resulted in several of the cast members, including star Michael Imperioli, helping to usher them out of the theater. The activists, who identified themselves as Extinction Rebellion, interrupted the performance three separate times, shouting phrases like “No theater on a dead planet” before Imperioli (without breaking character) began pushing one of the protestors toward the exit. “An Enemy of the People” stars Jeremy Strong as Dr.
a popular movie starring a young Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Like Pavlov’s pups, millennials habitually sob during that 2004 film, and the production has seized upon its teary reputation by selling branded tissue boxes. During the final 10 minutes, the noses are deafening.I suspect, however, that it is audience members’ fond memories of the movie and book, more so than the merely pleasant proceedings in the theater, that are prying open their tear ducts.Because as elegantly staged as “The Notebook” is by co-directors Michael Greif and Schele Williams, and despite boasting an appealing cast, the show amounts to a series of un-involving pencil sketches rather than a layered portrait of a decades-long love.Not a single change book writer Bekah Brunstetter has made improves the simple story’s effectiveness.
UPDATE, with video: Climate activists disrupted tonight’s Broadway performance of An Enemy Of The People, bringing the production starring Jeremy Strong and Michael Imperioli to a brief halt as protesters shouted “No theater on a dead planet” before being subdued by ushers.
To say The Notebook had a devoted, built-in audience before it sang so much as a note on Broadway would be an understatement this romantic tear-jerker never attempts.
