Woman Disrupts Death Of A Salesman

According to the people in attendance of the play, the woman was disruptive throughout Act 1 of the three-hour play. It appeared as though the woman and her companion were headed for the door after the intermission, but things took a turn when the woman decided to disrupt the entire audience and the play.

The woman started screaming and the show was stopped.

A video of the incident shows star Wendell Piece, who plays Willy Loman in Death Of A Salesman, speaking to the woman who was standing in the middle of the front row.

The video caption said, "Unfortunate disruption at beginning of Act 2 of the terrific Death of a Salesman tonight".

The 2-minute video also showed the police arriving at the scene as the audience cheered. The cheers and clapping began anew after the woman was escorted out.

A ticket buyer claimed that the woman started demanding her money back and Pierce suggested that the ushers give her her cash to end the disruption calmly.

However, Pierce's attempts to end the situation calmly were in vain, until the cops arrived on the scene and put an end to the chaos. The woman was escorted out by the police and as the show must go on, Pierce resumed acting and the play continued on.
