Corpus Christi
10 December 2004A Scottish Christian group, Christian Voice, has urged police in the town of Fife to prosecute a student theatre company, Zuloo, for blasphemy for producing an American play that depicts Jesus and his followers as practicing homosexuals. The play, Corpus Christi, is "a modern retelling of the Gospels," located in the Texan town of the title, and it also sparked strong protests in the U.S. when it opened in 1997. The last British imprisonment for blasphemy took place in 1922, when a man was sentenced to nine months' hard labor for comparing Jesus to a circus clown.
