London, United Kingdom - January 27, 2025 Chaos erupted at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, on January 27 as two Just Stop Oil supporters stormed the stage during a performance of The Tempest starring Sigourney Weaver. The activists held a banner reading “Over 1.5 Degrees is a Global Shipwreck,” highlighting concerns over rising global temperatures. The protest came after scientists confirmed 2024 was the first full year above the 1.5-degree warming threshold set in the Paris Agreement. The activists demanded the UK government commit to phasing out fossil fuels by 2030, warning of worsening wildfires, storms, and resource conflicts. The disruption follows a weekend of severe storms across the UK and Ireland, leaving hundreds of thousands without power. Just Stop Oil announced plans for further action outside Parliament in April.
