Ralph Fiennes Calls for Shocking Theatre Experiences, Criticizes High Prices
Actor Ralph Fiennes believes that modern audiences have become "soft" due to trigger warnings being put out before plays, stating that the impact of theatre should be to shock and disturb without preparation. While he acknowledges the need for warnings for scenes that may physically affect people, he recalls never experiencing trigger warnings in his youth as a theatre lover. Fiennes is set to star in a modern stage retelling of Macbeth this year.
