"Climate Activists Disrupt Broadway Play 'An Enemy of the People' Starring Michael Imperioli"

Climate activists disrupted a Broadway performance of 'An Enemy Of The People,' shouting slogans about climate change before being subdued and escorted out by ushers and cast members. Cast member Michael Imperioli stayed in character, physically confronting the protesters and shouting at them to leave. The interruption occurred during a scene in the play, and the activists' action was seemingly well-timed to coincide with a moment in the performance. The group identifying itself as "Extinction Rebellion NYC" later claimed responsibility for the disruption, and the incident was similar to a recent protest during a performance of Les Miserables in London's West End.
