Greek riot police have used violence to stop an attempted theatre invasion by monks, priests and other Orthodox Christians protesting what they claim is a blasphemous play. Wielding poles , some of the 100-strong crowd tried to break a police cordon
outside the Aristoteleion Theatre in the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki. Protesters oppose the staging of The Hour of the Devil, an adaptation of a story by Portuguese author Fernando Pessoa about a discussion between a young woman and
a devil. |
