Recently, while waiting for a Broadway play to begin, an audience member noticed a charger on the curtainless stage, and so he walked up onto the stage with his cell phone, which he nonchalantly plugged in. During an off Broadway play in July, actress Patti LuPone left the stage and seized a cellphone from a texting audience member. And a month later, actor Benedict Cumberbatch pleaded with a London audience to put their devices away during a production of Hamlet.
