Renowned comedian John Cleese recently announced that an original scene from his revived stage show of Monty Python’s “Life of Brian” will be removed. The scene in question involves a character asserting the right to have a baby and be referred to as Loretta.
As reported by Spiked, during a script read-through last month, Cleese received feedback from the performers indicating that the reference to Loretta is no longer considered appropriate in today’s climate.
The decision to cut out the scene reflects the evolving sensitivities and cultural considerations surrounding gender and identity.
