Freedom of dramatic expression is what theater is all about. None of our great plays would have been seen if religious or political groups were allowed to control the content.

Peaceful, political or religious demonstrations are also freedoms.

Violent, mob response to a theater performance is unlawful and unacceptable, regardless of content.

The public should be able to decide the artistic merit.

Let the show go on and if police in riot gear need to protect the general public, so be it. The public, in this case, is innocent. The mob inciting violence is guilty.
