Labour Council Bans Passion Of The Christ Play Mistaken For Live Sex Show
Bungling pen-pushers blocked the performance of a play re-enacting the crucifixion of Jesus Christ after mistaking it for a live sex show.
Bosses refused to grant the traditional Good Friday production a licence over fears that it could be "committing an offence."
The Passion Play is a dramatic performance of the Passion of the Christ, from the Latin meaning "suffering", and follows his trial, crucifixion and death.
Performers take the roles of Jesus, his disciples, Mary Magdalen, and Roman prefect Pontius Pilate, who ordered the crucifixion of Jesus.
Oxford City Council's blunder was blasted by organisers who were forced to cancel the religious play at the last minute.
"Unfortunately, one of the city council’s licensing officers didn’t recognise that a Passion play on Good Friday was a religious event," said Oxford City Councillor and United Reform Church pastor Dick Wolff
"I think he thought it was a sex show, so he said it may be committing an offence.
"This is a case of the system tripping over its own shoelaces."
