Dame Judi Dench has a few terse words for audiences who need trigger warnings: “If you’re that sensitive, don’t go to the theatre.”“Do they do that?” Dench replied. “My God, it must be a pretty long trigger warning before King Lear or Titus Andronicus.”
She continued: “Why go to the theatre if you’re going to be warned about things that are in the play? Isn’t the whole business of going to the theatre about seeing something that you can be excited, surprised, or stimulated by? It’s like being told they’re all dead at the end of King Lear. I don’t want to be told.”
