Dench condemns the rise of trigger warnings in theatre

In some cases, trigger warnings are issued before the beginning of a performance to alert audiences to upsetting or distressing content.

The Shakespeare in Love actor, 89, said that people should be surprised by the plot of a play and questioned the “content guidance” that has been placed on performances at Shakespeare’s Globe in London. Speaking to Radio Times, Dame Judi said audiences should be given the opportunity to interpret material for themselves.
