‘Don’t go to the theatre’: Judi Dench weighs in on theatre trigger warnings 

British actress Judi Dench weighed in on trigger warnings at the theatre during an interview with Radio Times Magazine.
Dench’s comments came after Harry Potter star Ralph Fiennes and Doctor Who star Matt Smith gave their opinions on the topic.
The trigger warning topic pertains to theatres informing viewers of potentially distressing material before the show begins.
Dench said that, under certain circumstances, a warning is necessary but can still affect a spectator’s experience.
“I can see why they exist, and it is preparing people, I suppose, but if you’re that sensitive, don’t go to the theatre, because you could be very shocked. Where is the surprise of seeing and understanding it in your own way,” she said.
