Madrid

A GROUP of Spanish actresses has found a novel way to protest the government's taxation of the performing arts: They're selling pornography.

Theatre company Primas de Riesgo is registering as a porn distributor after getting hold of 300 back issues of magazine Free People. The twist is that each copy includes a free ticket to The Prodigious Magician at Madrid's New Alcala Theatre this month because tax on magazines is less than a fifth of admission to a play.
