Dame Helen Mirren was forced to halt a live performance of Phedre after an audience member fell ill.

The veteran actress is currently starring alongside Dominic Cooper in a version of Racine's classic tragedy in London's National Theatre.

Is there a doctor in the house?

But the drama transferred from the stage to the stalls on Wednesday (10Jun09) after a woman became sick, prompting a fellow theatregoer to cry out, "Is there a doctor in the house?"

But the show went on for consummate professional Mirren once the ill reveller had received medical attention.
