Further Perversities — In Vienna
The Guardian reports: ‘Police are to guard tonight’s Vienna premiere of a controversial stage comedy inspired by the saga of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man who imprisoned and abused his daughter, after protests and appeals for it to be banned. Hubsi Kramar, the production’s director and star, has been forced to change its title from “Pension Fritzl – a Cellar Soap” to “Pension F” because of the outcry. Tickets for tonight’s opening have sold out. The play centres on the story of the 74-year-old Fritzl, who goes on trial next month for imprisoning and sexually abusing his daughter Elisabeth, by whom he fathered seven children, over a period of 24 years.’
