How Many XXX's Should Be Allowed???
Date: 19 March 2003
Is it time to bring back the censors? Two upcoming London productions are whipping up controversy enough to convince some doubters. At west London's Riverside Studios, a production titled XXX, by Spanish troupe La Fura Dels Baus, has apparently attracted the concern of the vice squad for its depiction of not just group sex but also audience participation. Also from Spain (a coincidence?), director Calixto Bieito has been generating headlines for his excessively gory Catalan version of Shakespeare's Macbeth, which include scenes of oral sex and necrophilia and runs for five nights from 8 April 2003 at the Barbican Theatre as part of BITE.
