Cate Blanchett asked audience members to stop recording her performance in the London play “Electra/Persona” per a video shared on Instagram Friday.

“There are few places on this planet where we can simply be together and be present,” the actress said on stage. “I understand you like filming the curtain call, and it is kind of flattering in a way. But for anyone who is filming the show, please don’t, because it spoils it for the next group of people who come in and are present with us. So thank you very much.”
