At yesterday's matinee of the Brian Friel play, "The Faith Healer," phones went off not once, not twice, but four times.
Back in Dublin, where the drama played to sold-out houses, New York magazine reported that a cellphone trilled one night during Ralph Fiennes' final monologue, prompting him to shout, "Turn that [bleep]ing thing off!"
Yesterday, reports The Post's Barbara Hoffman, he and co-stars Cherry Jones and Ian McDirmid - whose monologues were also interrupted - remained stoically in character. Members of the audience, however, were beginning to come unglued.

I don't blame Mr. Fiennes. I'm sick of cell phone addicts who can't even shop, drive, or watch a movie without being on those damn things and, yes, I have one - for emergencies.

I recall seeing F. Murray Abraham at the New York Public Theater in a Macbeth when a cell phone went off. He stayed in character, simply turned and faced the audience, and said "Ye all be quiet while in the court and presence of the king!"
I thought it was a good save.

That is a great save! That's funny!
