Proof The Bible Is True

“The police demanded to see the play’s script! This is something one might expect in a banana republic but not in a supposedly free society. So it appears that the subject of how young Muslims may become radicalised is now taboo. Free speech and inquiry have suffered another beating.”  Admin

The National Youth Theatre (NYT) has been blasted for scrapping a play about young Muslims being radicalised.

Leading figures from the world of arts and entertainment have demanded the theatre reveals exactly why ‘Homegrown’ was cancelled.

The signatories of an open letter to NYT include the sculptor Sir Anish Kapoor, playwright Sir David Hare, and actor Simon Callow.

The play set out to explore the reasons why someone might be attracted towards extremist groups.

It was organised by English PEN, a free speech campaign group, which said the NYT of failed to stand up for the show it commissioned, the Times reported.

Homegrown was cancelled two weeks before today’s scheduled opening, when the theatre asked the play’s creators whether they were giving a final version of the script to the police.

Its director Nadia Latif said one of the producers announced she had met with police on July 22 and they had demanded to see the script.
