No Manners


At yesterday's matinee of the Brian Friel play, "The Faith Healer," phones went off not once, not twice, but four times.

Back in Dublin, where the drama played to sold-out houses, New York magazine reported that a cellphone trilled one night during Ralph Fiennes' final monologue, prompting him to shout, "Turn that [bleep]ing thing off!"

Yesterday, reports The Post's Barbara Hoffman, he and co-stars Cherry Jones and Ian McDirmid - whose monologues were also interrupted - remained stoically in character. Members of the audience, however, were beginning to come unglued.

You Said

I don't blame Mr. Fiennes. I'm sick of cell phone addicts who can't even shop, drive, or watch a movie without being on those damn things and, yes, I have one - for emergencies.

I recall seeing F. Murray Abraham at the New York Public Theater in a Macbeth when a cell phone went off. He stayed in character, simply turned and faced the audience, and said "Ye all be quiet while in the court and presence of the king!"

I thought it was a good save.

That is a great save! That's funny!
