A severely disabled man was forced out of a theatre while watching a musical - after an audience member complained the noises he made were too "distracting" and "disrespectful."

Harry Boniface, 25, who has multiple learning difficulties, severe epilepsy and is non-verbal, was confronted several times by an angry woman while watching his actor dad perform.

His father Martin, 58, who was starring in the performance of 'Into the Woods', says the theatre-goer repeatedly shushed Harry and eventually pressured him to leave.

Harry’s support worker and family tried to explain to the woman how Harry "vocalised" because he was unable to speak.
