A video posted on social media by the group shows two activists entering the stage with a sign that reads “over 1.5 degrees is a global shipwreck”, a reference to the recent announcement that 2024 had been the warmest on record globally and the first full year when the average temperature exceeded 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.
A voice is then heard saying: “We’ll have to stop the show ladies and gentlemen, sorry”.

One of the protesters, Hayley Walsh, 42, a lecturer from Nottingham, said: “Years of writing to MPs, going on marches and teaching my students to be more sustainable hasn’t seen the urgent change needed.
“1.5 degrees is a global shipwreck we can’t ignore. Wildfires in California, deadly floods in Valencia and hundreds of thousands without power in the UK this weekend.
Fellow protester, mechanical engineer Richard Weir, 60, from Tynemouth, North Tyneside, said: “I started my career in the shipyards of Tyneside and I watched management inaction lead to the collapse of UK manufacturing.
“We’re already seeing the damage this crisis is doing to crops, homes and entire neighbourhoods. Unless we come together and demand a move away from fossil fuels by 2030, we will go the same way as manufacturing in the UK.”
The production opened in December and will run until February 1.
