Another play banned

SURAKARTA, Central Java: Police have banned a play by the
Indonesian Labor Theater, which was scheduled to perform two sold
out plays here on Saturday and Sunday.

"The ban was imposed by the local police. We feel very
disturbed by this ban," said Murtidjono, the head of the theater
in Surakarta.

The two plays that were scheduled to be performed to a sold
out audience of 300 were Senandung Terpuruk (The Hymn of the
Fallen) and Di Balik Tembok Pabrik (Behind the Factory Wall).

This is the third time that the theater group has been banned
from the stage after previously being banned in Tangerang and
just recently at Taman Ismail Marzuki in Jakarta.(har/mds)
