I think this is fascinating for a number of reasons - but also given the speculation about when the media found out, the fact that Deborah Turness and Tim Davie were both in the gallery at 6.30pm clearly indicates they had at least a few minutes warning.
I'll never understand why the entire structure of management feel they have to be in the gallery for moments like this. It is completely distracting to the operators, undermines the authority of the producer and director, creates unnecessary stress, and why not book a meeting room with a large screen? Not to mention this breaks all of the covid-secure rules (set by the very same people ignoring them!) regarding maximum number of bodies in the gallery to protect operationally critical staff.
It's madness.
