Glass bottle attack on Şener Şen's theater play

The master actor Şener Şen was performing his play titled "Zengin Mutfağı" (Rich Kitchen) at the Oran Open Air Stage in Ankara.

While Şen's play Zengin Mutfağı was ongoing in Ankara, glass bottles were thrown by unidentified individuals toward the area where the audience was seated.

The audience, who had come to watch the play at the open-air stage, panicked when a bottle was suddenly thrown toward the stage area.

The uneasy state of the audience, who were trying to understand where the bottle came from, was captured on camera, and the play was interrupted.

After a short break, the theater play continued and was completed.

"I SAW THE WORRY IN THEIR EYES"

Birgün reporter İsmail Arı, who was among those watching the performance, stated in a post on his X account: "Şener Şen was at the Oran Open Air Stage in Ankara this evening for the Zengin Mutfağı play. While the play was ongoing, a group outside the area first shouted and yelled, and then glass bottles were thrown at the audience from behind the wall. Due to this attack, which caused panic and screams, the play was briefly interrupted, then the play was completed. I saw the worry in the eyes of the audience watching Şener Şen. It's a shame, such a shame" he said.

In the footage reflected on camera, it can be seen that the audience was assessing whether the bottle was thrown from the wooded area.
