Actors hit back
Actors’ Equity, the trade union which represents theatrical workers, has hit back at “narrow-minded and opinionated interests” who have called for the banning of the stage show “The Further Confessions of a Window Cleaner.” “Actors’ Equity objects to the persistent attacks by pro-censorship individuals on the employment opportunities of its members,” said the president of the Canterbury Branch (Mr G. W. Bahlman). It found the threat to people’s rights to choose what they would see offensive, and believed that censorship should be left to the censor. and not to "narrowminded and opinionated interests,” he said.
