A theatre in London is warning audiences in advance that they could be triggered by the sound of people eating on stage during a performance of a play.
The Sadlers Wells theatre in Finsbury has told ticket holders that they may feel “uncomfortable” at the sound of people sucking on oranges during the play titled Out.
“The performance contains sounds of people eating so those with misophonia might find some parts uncomfortable,” the description of the play notes.
So what is misophonia?
The NHS website lists the condition as “extreme emotional reaction to certain everyday sounds that most people would find relatively easy to ignore.”
Really?
It’s like the theatre had to find something to include as a trigger warning because the culture of narcissism demands trigger warnings be added to everything now.
So what is the play actually about?
It is advertised as a production that “defiantly challenges homophobia and transphobia” and aims to “reimagine, reclaim and celebrate aspects of Caribbean culture from a queer perspective.”
Right. That explains the batshittery then.
It is further described as an “interdisciplinary performance inspired by ongoing global struggles for LGBTQIA+ rights” and a “defiant challenge to the status quo.”
Exactly like every other current thing then.
“Bravely embracing personal, political and cultural dissonance, this work smashes through our violent colonial histories to reimagine, reclaim and celebrate our delicious queer future,” the description further states.
Delicious?
Smashing through colonial history. Careful of those eating sounds though.
The Mail On Sunday notes that when the play was casting, it was requested that any applicants must be “queer, trans+ or gender non-conforming black performers of Caribbean heritage.”
That handful of people are surely superb actors.
As we previously highlighted, even productions of Shakespeare plays have had “content guidance” trigger warnings placed on them, prompting a backlash.
The warnings have also prepared audiences to expect “misogynoir references,” a made up mashed together term for misogyny and discrimination against black people.
Theatre goers have blasted the move as ridiculous.
Actors Ralph Fiennes and Ian McKellen both recently slammed the trend, noting that people shouldn’t be mollycoddled when it comes to theatre.
The arts, particularly theatre has become infested with this stuff.
From so called ‘black out’ nights where white people are not allowed to attend, to government funded studies branding Shakespeare too replete with “white, able-bodied, heterosexual, cisgender male narratives.”

So many -phobias. Don’t these idiots realise they are misusing the word? A phobia is a fear of something. Since when was it a crime to be afraid of something? According to their definition, I am a ‘transphobic’. Except that I am not scared of ‘trans’ people, I simply dislike ‘trans’ activists and I won’t tolerate someone with a penis (a man in other words) being in the same changing room as my granddaughters. It’s still not a crime to dislike someone or even a group of people.
A mentally ill play promoting mental illness as normal and which triggers mentally ill people.
Priceless.

“interdisciplinary performance inspired by ongoing global struggles for LGBTQIA+ rights” and a “defiant challenge to the status quo”. First of all, do not all people regardless of their sex or racial colour fall under the same equal rights under the law? So what “rights” and “status quo” are these LGBTQIA+ people referring to as not receiving? Secondly, Shakespeare(a pen name?), if he were to return to today’s world would be absolutely sickened by the strange phenomenon of wokeness with all its intricate explanations. Can you imagine breaking down each letter and symbol of LGBTQIA+ by explanation to a man like Shakespeare? His reponse would be, you are all nuts, I’m going back to the 16th century.
