Quote:People didn't pay to walk out, they paid to be entertained, enlightened, whatever it is people get out of plays. They got the carrot (the play) and the stick (the lecture). They didn't pay for that stick.

 

I would have walked out and demanded my money back.

It was curtain call. The play was over. Nothing was disrupted for anyone. Those who didn't want to hear it had seen the content of the play as written without distraction. If they were deeply snowflaked by the writer of a political play making a statement to a newly-elected politician with controversial views and a lot of unknowns surrounding him, they were free to leave with nothing of value lost.
