Nazis Don't Kowtow to Art
A stunned Italian actor had to stub out the cigarette he had lit up on stage after a spectator complained, forcing the theatre to change the script of an Arthur Miller play to make it smoke-free.
"This had never happened to me in more than 300 performances," the actor, Sebastiano Lo Monaco, said.
Italy has banned lighting up in all enclosed public places since January this year.
