Just Stop Oil demonstrators came on stage during a performance of The Tempest on Monday

Two members of the campaign group Just Stop Oil have been charged with aggravated trespass after disrupting a performance of Sigourney Weaver’s West End play.

On Monday night, two climate change activists came on stage during one of Sigourney’s scenes in the William Shakespeare play The Tempest, holding an orange sign emblazoned with the message: “Over 1.5 Degrees Is A Global Shipwreck.”

This slogan referred to the recent news that 2024 had been the first full year in which the global temperature rose by 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels.

During the demonstration, which was met with a mix of boos and cheers from the crowd, the three-time Oscar nominee was led off stage by a member of the crew.
