Polish Prosecutors Investigate Play for Offending Religious Sentiments
The Polish prosecutor's office began an investigation of a theater play that contains a scene of an actress simulating oral sex on the statue of Pope John Paul II, and other sex scenes involving crosses. Another scene hints at murdering a top PiS (Law and Justice) party leader.
The Catholic Church had already described the play "The Curse," which premiered in Warsaw on February 18, 2017, as "blasphemy." The play is an adaptation of Polish playwright Stanislaw Wyaspiański's 1899 work, but director Oliver Frljic significantly deviated from the original.
