Idris Elba rushes off stage to help woman who suffered seizure in audience during his new play
IDRIS Elba rushed off stage to help a woman who had a seizure during his new play on Wednesday.
Heroic Idris, 46, leapt to help theatre-goer Amanda Billington after she collapsed at Upper Campfield Market Hall in Manchester.
Amanda, an illustrator for Salford, suffers regular seizures due to a mystery undiagnosed condition.
She was taken to hospital for a check-up and was later released.
She said: "I would love to thank him personally, but doubt I will cross paths with him - he’s very famous."
Luther star Idris is staring in the play Tree - which is running as part of the Manchester International Festival.
The show was co-created by Idris and Kwame Kwei-Armah and was holding a preview performance on Wednesday.
It is running at the festival until July 13.
