Ralph Fiennes Urges End to Trigger Warnings in Theatre
Actor Ralph Fiennes has called for an end to trigger warnings at theatres, stating that audiences have become "too soft." He believes that theatre should shock and disturb audiences, and that the element of surprise is what makes it exciting. Fiennes joins peers such as Sir Ian McKellen and Christopher Biggins in criticizing the increasing use of trigger warnings, arguing that they detract from the live and unexpected nature of theatre performances.
