In Singapore, Children Barred From Seeing All-Male Earnest
"Presenting Oscar Wilde's 'The Importance of Being Earnest' with an all-male cast dressed as men has raised a few eyebrows in conservative Singapore, leading the media regulator to request the company to prominently display an age advisory of '16 years and above' on all its publicity material, with the notice, 'Re-interpretation, all-male cast.'" The production "has particular resonance in Singapore, where homosexuality is still a criminal activity." The New York Times 04/02/09
