The performance of William Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra was halted at around 10pm as the play neared its finale, when red-coloured fireworks lit up the night's sky.
Theatregoers at Shakespeare's Globe were forced to evacuate after a firework plunged into the open-air London venue last night.
It is believed the firework was set off as part of a display by football fans celebrating the birthday of an Algerian club, with videos on social media showing dozens of pyrotechnics lighting up the sky above the Thames. Mark Johnson said he was confused by the bright red light, which even seemed to catch the performers on stage off guard.
Tooting resident Mark Johnson, who was attending the play on his 30th birthday, claimed it was a 'miracle' nobody was hurt
