"Genital puppeteers outrage Swansea folk

A stage show in which two Australians manipulate their genitals into various objects and landmarks has provoked a storm of protest in Swansea.

Puppetry of the Penis sold out weeks before its arrival at the city’s Grand Theatre.

But almost 400 residents have signed petitions calling for its cancellation, saying it is an affront to public decency.

Swansea Council’s culture secretary Robert Francis-Davies said the show was part of a balanced programme at the theatre which included ballet and opera."
