- BY ZOE SHENTON

ACTOR Robert Glenister has broken down onstage during a performanc­e of Glengarry Glen Ross.

The 57-year-old Hustle star sparked worry among audience members when the curtain came down and the performanc­e was paused for half-an-hour.

One theatre-goer revealed the 57-year-old appeared to freeze up and “lose it emotionall­y”.

Co-star Christian Slater came back out to make an announceme­nt at the show in London on Friday.

The West End production’s social media account said: “We are pleased to report Robert Glenister is feeling better and tonight’s performanc­e has continued with Mark Carlisle in the role of David Moss.”
