Thank You Frank Albrecht for alerting me to this production, and Tony Pazuzu for the information.

Alfonso Nadal

The original venue was a nightclub, done out to appear as a cinema. The original set designs and direction were copied from London. It played 11PM nightly, and 11PM and 1AM Saturdays, to standing room only and defied the law by allowing under 21s in. After a year it took a break for 4 weeks, before reopening at a proper theatre, with an upgraded set.

 

Under the Franco Regime, Catholicism ruled! Which of course meant corruption. The production had to play only to adults, after 11PM, as well as fines and pay-offs.
The character name changes are more to do with not using "Damn it", because of religious laws.

It was seen as a direct attack on the Regime, and created a lot of media attention. Interestingly, the fact that it had played in America was made far more negative fuss about, than its British origins. As if it was even more tainted.
