Sigourney Weaver live performance disrupted as confetti-shooting eco-protesters storm the stage
Briefly

During a performance of 'The Tempest' starring Sigourney Weaver, two Just Stop Oil activists disrupted the show using a confetti cannon. They held a sign reading, 'Over 1.5 degrees is a global shipwreck', highlighting the critical threshold for global warming. The interruption forced the show to halt as the audience reacted with boos. The activists, Hayley Walsh and Richard Weir, expressed their concern for future generations amidst a climate crisis that they believe is exacerbated by fossil fuel reliance, demanding the UK government phase out such energy sources by 2030.
I am scared for my children, I want a better future for them. 1.5 degrees is a global shipwreck we can't ignore.
The pair could be seen holding a sign which read 'Over 1.5 Degrees is a Global Shipwreck', referring to the recent announcement that 2024 was the first full year over the 1.5-degree safe limit for global temperature rise.
