The social contract of going to the theater is pretty clear: you buy a ticket, take your seat. Turn your ringer off. Enjoy the show.
That basic etiquette was broken on Thursday night during the very first preview of Keira Knightley's Broadway debut. Debuting her new play, Thérèse Raquin, Keira was interrupted by a member of the audience.
According to the Associated Press, a young male fan in the mezzanine got up, went to the railing and began shouting at the movie star. Keira, like a boss (she's starred in two plays on London's West End), never broke character.
Which is when the crazed fan yelled, "Five seconds is too long to wait for a response!" E! News reports the man then asked Keira to marry him (naturally). When security arrived and escorted him out, he tossed flowers he'd been holding onto the stage.
Keira's co-star Gabriel Ebert soundly kicked them off, to a round of applause.
Bravo.
