Cate Blanchett Bumps Her Head On Stage

September 2nd, 2009 // Leave a Comment

Australian actress, Cate Blanchett, is recovering from a head injury sustained during a performance of A Streetcar Named Desire at The Sydney Theatre Company.

According to spokesman for the theatre, the actress was not hit when a radio was thrown by cast mate, Joel Edgerton. Instead, the rep explains in a statement, “There was a moment when another actor lifted the prop above his head and she somehow sustained a minor blow to the head.

Although a theatergoer claims Blanchett “had blood streaming down the back of her head and blood on the back of her neck,” Cate was not taken to the hospital. However, shortly thereafter, the actors exited the stage, the lights were turned back on and the theatre was evacuated due to “technical difficulties.”

Despite the accident, Cate’s expected to return to the stage tomorrow. And hopefully by then, she’ll have learned to speak only when spoken to.
