Regular readers will recall that I have blogged before about Caryl Churchill’s racist play Seven Jewish Children. You can read the posts here and here.

Good news. The Lord Kingsale hotel in Ireland was scheduled to host some performances of the play but when they discovered its antisemitic content, they bravely cancelled the performances. Naturally this has caused them criticism and lost revenue. So let’s all salute their courage, their strength and their indefatigability by emailing them to say thanks. And if you are planning to take a holiday in Ireland, make sure you take it at the Lord Kingsale hotel.

PS – Theatro Technis, an obscure theatre in London, is currently showing an antisemitic play called Go To Gaza. The play is full of dishonesty – for instance it repeats the lie that Israel shelled a school in Gaza killing 42 people. This has been completely disproved yet Theatro Technis allows that lie to be repeated every night on its stage.

Even more shameful is the comparison that the play draws between Gaza and Auschwitz. I emailed the theatre about this and they replied claiming: “The play Go To Gaza does not draw any comparisons with the Nazi Holocaust.”

As you can see, their denial is a straightforward lie.
