This is an actual "comedy" show, a musical specifically, at The Edinburgh Festival this year.
Poor taste? Or should we be allowed to poke humour at anything.
I'm generally quite liberal and think it's a slippery slope once you start to censor and tell people what they can and can't laugh at.
But this feels so wrong because child abduction is the subject.
Thoughts? |

I understand the need to get seen at the Edinburgh festival, so a controversial title will get that much needed publicity. But it’s time to leave those involved in peace. The victim will be a young woman and the family members have paid for their crimes.
Everyone involved should be given a chance to move on and hopefully learn from this terrible experience.

"Too soon.
Yeah.
I think she must be a young woman now but can you imagine the wee soul hearing about this and how she must feel."
I’m guessing she’s said she’s fine with it if they’re using her name. I could be wrong but if that is the case then she must have a great sense of humour. |

"At the Edinburgh festival there is also Making a Murderer the Musical about Brandon Dassey and Steven Avery who are both still in prison protesting their innocence"
Wasn't aware of that. |

In fairness I think her mother is the reason she's got a lifetime of psychological issues, not this musical.
There are plenty of films and plays and TV shows based around crimes where those involved would probably rather they did not happen but they go ahead.
There was a TV Dramatisation around Shannon Matthews 5 years ago, I'm not sure why that was okay and this isnt

True. Pain and Gain being one of them. They made a comedy out of brutal murders. |

"Done by a Basildon “musician” called K*nt & the Gang.
He used to be quite funny, but over the last 2 years he’s gotten desperate for attention & thrives on shock humour  "
I think he's always thrived on shock value, he's depressingly uninspiring |

You’re right there, perhaps he should call it time and move on. |

"The Musical is described as "a potty mouthed romp""
Living here during the festival is a pain. Hundreds of wannabe stars peddling nonsense on the street. If you're reliant on tourism income, it's a boon. For locals, it's just irritating  |

"She wasnt abducted tho it was a publicity thing by the mother she was in the attic all along wasnt she
Sedated I think and kept against her will. Not good."
what a loony mum that is i remember working that estate the week after it was rumbled all i remember were the locals were foaming at the mouth after it
Its kind of why i always distrusted tom moors daughter she seemed the same kind of publicity hound |

Just heard the news about Salman Rushdie.
Possibly throws this into a different light.
Freedom of speech is something that should be cherished. Even if it is deemed offensive by some. |
