Controversial Egg?

Hmmm, again to reiterate, if your audience are those of students below the age of 18 then you have to take into consideration the details/themes/issues of the play. It just seems so naive (i also believe it isn't even on the set text list provided by the curriculum council)i would therefore assume that the choice would have to be questioned, am i right in thinking that class act is specifically a theatre in education company (the title is a clue!)if so then the education liaison could/should have been consulted. logos, i honestly don't understand your references to tunbridge wells and steady eddie, but i could understand the embarrassment it could cause to teachers if parents see the material as inappropriate - maybe the topic of a thalidomite baby and its reference to as a 'parsnip' is a little too much in bad taste. i feel that you havent really read the original posting, instead you have got your knickers in a knot over censorship, its not small mindedness, if anything in this context its 'large' mindedness as it is taking into consideration the principals and levels of tolerance that other people hold, as oppose to those of the individual self. im sure those who refused steady eddie weren't year 12 students! black humor is great when appropriate and often very clever and provides a very accurate picture of society and values in a provocative satirical way...however, the point i am trying to make is that your own tastes have to be set aside in compliance with the sensibility of the people who entrust teachers with their children. i might be wrong and i hope i am, but your argument just reaks of ignorance. i think the notion was rejecting in it on the fact that school children were invited and encouraged on the back of a review that 'could' be deemed inappropriate and therefore stands to embarrass or offend. too put it another way, if you promoted literature to an institution such as a school promoting mark ravenhills controversial 'shopping and f***ing' or an art exhibition exhibiting the work of institutionalised murderers and rapists it would be deemed inappropriate, as you dont have the right to push on people of an impressionable age such works. If, however, as an adult who sees the worth in the art and the maturity to deal with the material on an intellectual plain then, that is another matter. Is that all there is amigo? because if it is put on some shoes and lets go dancing (or again something more wacky)!
