In the Eureka Springs Auditorium there will be a production of a play written by an Englishman who accuses Danes of murder and indecision and Jews of perfidy.
Will DeVito picket Hamlet?
As an American is he offended by the story of a United States Navy officer whose caddish behaviour leads to the death of a young girl?
Will he picket the next Opera Guild performance of Puccini's Madama Butterfly?
In Fiorenza there is a statue of a young Jewish boy who is apparently so poor he has no clothes.
Where is his indignation about Michaelangelo's David?
Rigoletto, the mishapen clown, Pagliacci, the tragic clown, Violetta, the courtesan, the impoverished Musetta all given immortality by Pucinni, Verdi and Leoncavallo.
Who takes offense at these portrayals?
