»Fry under fire over paedophilia play

By James Morrison Arts Thursday 26 December 2013

Stephen Fry has been accused of "promoting paedophilia" by giving his blessing to an Edinburgh Festival revival of his award-winning play about an affair between a teacher and an under-age schoolboy.

When a 23-year-old Fry first unleashed his public school satire Latin! on the Fringe in 1980, it earned him a best newcomer's prize and kick-started his long-standing collaboration with comic partner Hugh Laurie.

Now a row has broken out over plans by an acclaimed young company to revive the play, which tells of the homosexual relationship between a Latin master and his 13-year-old pupil. The play opens as part of the Fringe on Friday.

The protests have been led by James Gilchrist, a local Conservative councillor who branded the play "smut" and dismissed Fry's contribution to the theatre as something that "could be written on the back of a postage stamp".« tickle me 11:28, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
