"Jeremy Strong and Michael Imperioli Clash in Broadway's 'An Enemy of the People' Review"

Climate activists affiliated with Extinction Rebellion disrupted a performance of "An Enemy of the People" at Circle in the Square Theatre, drawing a connection between the play and urgent global crises. Jeremy Strong's portrayal of Dr. Thomas Stockmann was described as lacking fire, while the production aimed to blur the lines between past and present. The play, adapted by Amy Herzog, features contemporary vernacular and a streamlined storyline, with attention to texture and tactile detail. The disruption by climate activists added a jolt of relevance to the otherwise stolid revival.

"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.

"Biden's Actions Spark Controversy Over US Energy Projects"

The White House has postponed a decision on the approval of the Calcasieu Pass 2 natural gas megaproject, a move that has been welcomed by climate activists who have been campaigning against the project due to its potential impact on the environment.

COP28: Oil Nations' Reluctance Threatens Climate Summit Progress

The draft agreement for COP28, the 2023 UN Climate Conference, has removed language calling for a phase-out of fossil fuels, leading to outrage from climate activists and the threat of nations walking away from the agreement. The removal of this language contradicts the demands of the European Union and developing nations advocating for more aggressive measures to address climate change. The presence of fossil fuel lobbyists at the conference and the appointment of the CEO of a major oil company as the conference head have raised concerns about the influence of oil-producing nations and corporations on the agreement. Former US Vice President Al Gore criticized the draft as being dictated by oil-producing nations and called for clear language on phasing out fossil fuels in the final text.

"Putin's Oil Talks Next Door: A Troll Move at COP28"

While the COP28 climate talks were taking place in Dubai, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a discreet visit to Abu Dhabi and Riyadh, seemingly thumbing his nose at the global discussions on weaning the world off fossil fuels. This visit comes at a tense time for Russia's relations with oil-rich Gulf states, as Western sanctions and falling oil prices have forced Moscow to keep its crude flowing to cover its military costs and financial holes. Climate activists protested Putin's presence at COP28, while European officials criticized his visit, citing his condemnation by the UN and his wanted status for war crimes.
