London Theatre Axes Play Because It’s Too ‘Highly Conflictual’ During Anti-Sexual Harassment Campaign

The play, which tells the story of two teenage girls who have a sexual relationship with an older married man, has been on a UK tour … Royal Court’s artistic director, Vicky Featherstone, has been a leading figure in the drive to combat sexual harassment in the industry.”
