Is it acceptable to eat in the theatre?

A London theatre has asked audiences not to eat during performances of its latest show Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

Richard Gresham is a regular theatre-goer, who has set up an online Theatre charter. He tells Eddie Mair that food "has become the new mobile phone issue" regarding complaints at the theatre.

Amber Massie-Blomfield is Executive Director of Camden People's Theatre, who says that even in Shakespeare's time they would have been eating in the theatre.
