Cate Blanchett til skade under optræden

Teaterstykke afbrudt efter uheld.

Cate Blanchett pådrog sig i går en skade i hovedet under et teaterstykke i hendes hjemland Australien. Skuespillerinden optrådte med stykket "A Streetcar Named Desire", da hun blev ramt af en rekvisit. Flere mener, at det var hendes medskuespiller Joel Edgerton, der smed en radio efter hende.

"There was a minor incident on stage that unfortunately did injure Cate," lyder det fra teatrets talsmand Tim McKeough. "There is no point in the show in which the radio is thrown at her. There was a moment when another actor lifted the prop above his head and she somehow sustained a minor blow to the head."

Blanchett tog ikke på hospitalet, men resten af stykket blev til gengæld aflyst.

En af de tilstedeværende fra publikum fortæller: "She had blood streaming down the back of her head and blood on the back of her neck. She acted for about another 30 seconds, then ran into what we thought was the next scene, but before we knew it the lights were turned on and we were told there were technical difficulties and everyone had to evacuate the Sydney Theatre Company."
