The Last Virgin

New York Times: "While Berlin’s cultural establishment is in an uproar over the recent cancellation of a controversial staging of a Mozart opera for fear of Islamist attacks, a theater here is going ahead with “The Last Virgin,” a bluntly satirical play about Muslims and Jews in the Middle East."

This article has an excellent point when it says that a play like this was written to create controversy. People who are getting all bent out of shape about this play should maybe be looking at why it was written and if it has a valid point or not. And maybe it was written so that people from all sides would get mad and then there would be a conversation started from that. Maybe not, I have no idea. I also wonder how much of this controversy is a gimmick to get butts in seats.
