50 arrested as police storm play in Belarus
Guardian Unlimited Arts: "Members of the theatre were about to begin a performance of Eleven Vests by Edward Bond at a house in a Minsk suburb on Wednesday when armed officers from the Omon unit entered the building and detained everyone present. The actors, performers and spectators were taken by bus to a police station, but released three hours later."
