SPOILER ALERT (Though not that it matters because don't go see this show!) Anyone else see the matinee of IMPRESSIONISM yesterday? In the final moment, just as Jeremy Irons turns in to Joan Allen for a kiss, one of those damn frames flies in and whacks Jeremy Irons right in the head. There was an audible "thunk" when it hit his head and a gasp in the theatre. Both he and Joan Allen just sort of stood there until the lights went down. When they came out a second later for curtain call, they awkwardly kissed at the end. I don't know if they were off their mark or the frame flew in at the wrong time, but I'm sure someone wasn't happy back stage!

Hope he's OK - in light of recent head injuries, I hope he gets it checked out!

That is terrible. I do hope he saw a doctor right away. That's scary.

Hope he's ok. The audible "thud" may have been amplified because his microphone was placed on his head though.

Yikes. Even the set hates the show. Hope he's okay.

Probably the only honest moment he's had on stage in years.
Meeee-owwww.
