Answer:
The poem At the Theatre: To the Lady behind Me, the poet A.P. Herbert shares an annoying experience. He was sitting inside a theatre enjoying a play. However, his excitement to enjoy the play was tarnished by a lady sitting behind him. She appeared to have seen the play previously also as she was revealing the plot of the play to the persons accompanying her. Consequently, the poet was not able to enjoy the play. The suspense that the playwright had intended to reveal after sometime, was revealed before the intended time.
At the end he advises her not to breathe upon his neck so much (irritate and annoy him so much)
