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)
