Summary
A production of "Puppetry of the Penis" in Swansea, Wales faced opposition from over 400 protesters who wanted it stopped due to claims of immorality, but Swansea Council's culture secretary supported the show, stating that people have the right to choose whether or not to attend. The show, featuring two Australians shaping their penises to resemble famous landmarks, had previously sold out in London's West End and also performed to full houses at the Edinburgh Festival.
