Cumberbatch Begs You Not To Shoot Him

Benedict Cumberbatch is getting rave reviews for his turn as Hamlet in London’s West End. There’s only one problem – the show hasn’t opened yet! In a flagrant disregard for protocol, to say nothing of common decency, two of London’s leading papers surreptitiously sent critics to see the very first preview and review it. So, these reviews are based on the actors’ first run-through in front of a live audience. Yes, it’s lovely that they were raves. But who do you people think you are? Me? Cumberbatch personally met with fans after a performance asking that they NOT film portions of the performance. “I can’t give you what I want to give you, which is a live performance that hopefully you will remember in your minds and brains – whether it’s good, bad or indifferent – rather than on your phones. So please don’t.” To get the message out, he’s asked people to “Tweet, blog, hashtag the shit out of this one for me.” He added that the theatre staff would “detect and evict” people illegally filming.
