'Platform' to be made into play
From the Edinburgh Evening News:
'Anti-Islam' sex tourism book takes to the stage at Festival A CONTROVERSIAL novel about sex tourism in Thailand which landed its author in court accused of stirring hatred against Muslims is to be turned into a new play for the Edinburgh International Festival.Catalan director Calixto Bieito, who is renowned for his X-rated productions, will work with novelist Michel Houellebecq to adapt his explosive book Platform for the stage.
Anyone interested in sex tourism, male or female, should take a look at
Platform (see our capsule review here). It will be fascinating to see how it can be adapted for the stage, given its high quotient of frank eroticism.
