Orlando Bloom is a stickler for the rules of the theater. At a morning performance of his play "Killer Joe" in the West End of London, the actor stopped the show twice to ask a viewer to tidy up his iPad.

London theater critic Mark Shenton tweeted an "eyewitness" to the play, documenting Bloom's improvised explosions, in which he threatened to delay the show if the iPad remained in sight.

"I need you to put [that] the iPad now!" Shenton quoted Bloom before adding a few minutes later, "Put away this iPad and wait."

Another onlooker, actor Harry Edwin, responded to Shenton's tweet to defend the owner of the IPad, behind which he was sitting during the incident. According to Edwin, the woman in question was using the iPad "for her fan" in the hot theater.

"I was sitting behind and although it would have looked bad, for her defense, she only used it for her fan. Edwin wrote by posting a photo behind the row of the woman who represented a miniature fan on an iPad with a white screen.

"There was an incident in the morning of yesterday's" Joe Killer "which was dealt with quickly and efficiently by the Front of House team," a Theater spokesman said several outlets. " Trafalgar Studios are a very intimate performance space, which can make the use of electronic devices by any member of the public extremely distracting for the Company." Trafalgar Studios' team [does] is doing a great job at ensuring that everyone at the Theater can enjoy the live experience. "
" Killer Joe ", with Bloom, opened its doors June 4 in the West End August 18.
