The Protest and the Play Museum of Colour In this two-part series, The Protest and the Play, we look back at two very different plays that were cancelled before they hit the stage – Behzti in 2004 and Exhibit B in 2014 – and use their 10 and 20-year anniversaries as a jumping-off point to ask: where do the limits of artistic freedom lie? Who has the right to tell certain stories? And would these plays be commissioned today? Behzti, a play by Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti, was cancelled by the Birmingham Reparatory Theatre after protests by members of the Sikh community, who were angered by the playwright’s depiction of a rape in a Gurdwara. The protests caused thousands of pounds in damage and forced the playwright into hiding. Exhibit B, a performance by the South African artist Brett Bailey, which featured Black actors chained and in cages, was described by its creator as a critique of "human zoos." It received five-star reviews when it opened at the Playfair Library The Last Voyage of the Rainbow Warrior July 1985. Greenpeace ship The Rainbow Warrior docks at Marsden Wharf, ready for a major protest campaign at Muroroa Atoll. Everyone knows what happened next. But do you know what went before?
