An education in etiquette

Published Tuesday 9 February 2010 at 11:20

I was totally in agreement with Susan Elkin’s article Child’s Play (The Stage, January 28, page 14). We should be actively encouraging young people (and indeed those of all ages) to make theatre-going a regular event, but the responsibility for teaching them how to behave belongs to those adults more experienced in theatre etiquette. That is assuming they have learnt it themselves in the first place.
