AceShowbiz - Approximately 1,000 people at Old Vic Theatre in Central London were evacuated due to security emergency. They were asked to move out of the building during a performance of "Woyzeck", a play that stars "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" actor John Boyega.

"We have been evacuated as a precaution; audience safety is our priority. We are liaising with the Met Police," the theatre tweeted. The cast were moved to the Imperial War Museum gardens near the theater while police brought bomb-sniffing dogs to conduct their searches.

The production resumed after the Metropolis police gave the all clear. "Following Met Police advice, this evening's performance will go ahead as planned," the theater explained. Boyega also tweeted, "Thank you #Woyzeck."

The incident happened only days after deadly bombing attack in Manchester outside Ariana Grande's concert venue.
