Dear Queenie,
The other night I went to a performance I had been looking forward to for a long time and I ended up seated right behind two people who kept chatting all the time so I couldn’t hear what I came for. It spoiled the whole thing for me.
Queenie, what do you do in a case like that?—Angry audience
Dear Angry,
First, you ask the offenders – politely! – to be quiet. If that does not work, move to a different seat if one is available. And if you cannot move, ask someone in charge to speak to the offenders (and possibly remove them).
