NI council bans 'blasphemous' Bible play

A council in Northern Ireland has banned a play by the Reduced Shakespeare Company after complaints that it was blasphemous.

Newtownabbey Borough Council cancelled The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged) which is due to to start a UK tour at the end of this month.

The theatre company says it infringes their freedom of speech and they intend to perform the play to an empty theatre.
