The new director of the Slovak National Theatre (SND), Zuzana Ťapáková, has canceled the performance Moonstone by Prague’s Studio of Heroes, which was scheduled to be part of the Drama Queer festival. The festival’s organizer called the decision discriminatory and accused her of censorship. Studio of Heroes announced on Facebook that they plan to address the situation with a talk at the end of October.

Drama Queer is a theatre festival focused on LGBT+ issues, running from 17 to 28 October.
