Bernard-Marie Koltès - Comédie-Française

I know it doesn't look like it, but this is a copyright story...

New York Times: "Yet soon after Muriel Mayette’s production of the play opened there, Mr. Koltès’s brother, François, who owns the copyright to his works, ordered that it be taken off the stage on June 7 after just 30 performances. The reason? The Algerian character, Aziz, is not being played by an Algerian, as stipulated by the playwright."
