| | |  Dramatic exit for 'Equus' stars
Stars of the new hit play 'Equus' had to take exit out of the theatre through a window. The crowd of 450 Dan fans were trapping Jenny Agutter and Richard Griffiths inside, so they took a more interesting exit. Quote:
Veteran stars Jenny Agutter and Richard Griffiths were forced to climb out of a window to escape a theatre besieged by fans of Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe.
A mob of 450 mostly teenage fans had crowded outside the stage door of the Gielgud Theatre, where 17-year-old Radcliffe is appearing naked every night in Equus.
Quote:
Police were called to disperse the throng outside the theatre in Rupert Street while Radcliffe's co-stars Griffiths and Agutter were left trapped inside.
Security staff managed to escort Radcliffe to his car, but the two veteran actors ended up having to climb out of a window to avoid the mêlée.
Quote:
For Griffiths this was a particularly difficult manoeuvre, as producer David Pugh pointed out.
"Richard and Jenny had to get out through the side window by the box office on Rupert Street. You try to get Richard Griffiths out of a back window. It was a bit touch and go," he said.

That's so funny, when you think about it!
But why didn't they helped them also? They are in the play and I'm sure their safety was a concern as well as Dan's. They should have help them get out too, IMO. | |

*smirks* I'll betcha that if I could, I'd probably be in with that squabble of screaming girls. *blanches* As much as I don't want to admit it...I'd be in with that. It's pretty funny though. Poor Richard and Jenny.

Imagine if this had to happen every single night O.o

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

I think thats really sad actually. That two really good actors had to escape simply because a bunch of screaming fan girls couldn't be bothered to show their appriecation to them too.
Oh well, it happens. I hope they get to use a door next time though.

It's sad that they had to resort to climbing out the window, but funny too! Hopefully next time they all get out through a door and all have screaming fans!!

I can imagine fans being excited to see Dan, but honestly. Whatever happened to good manners? Let people go about their business, folks! Yeesh! Poor Richard and Jenny!
