Ticket holders for upcoming London performance given trigger warning over 'sound of people eating oranges'

Ticket holders for an upcoming London show have been given a trigger warning over performers eating on stage.

Picture: Sadler's Wells/Glodi Miessi Out, to be performed at Lilian Baylis Studio in Finsbury from April 25-26, is advertised as a musical duet, which "defiantly challenges homophobia and transphobia" and aims to "reimagine, reclaim and celebrate aspects of Caribbean culture from a queer perspective". "Bravely embracing personal, political and cultural dissonance, this work smashes through our violent colonial histories to reimagine, reclaim and celebrate our delicious queer future,” the description continues. In addition, some actors have criticised the use of trigger warnings, with Cate Blanchett telling the Sunday Times that "tough conversations" are needed and that audiences should be challenged or even offended by what they see.
