Cars of cast, crew and audience members targeted during a performance Holding the Man on Sydney’s north shoreA theatre company says it “will not be silenced” after members of the cast, crew and audience attending a play about a gay couple had their tyres slashed. At least 12 people had their tyres punctured or slashed at Lane Cove Theatre Company’s penultimate performance of Holding the Man on Saturday. Lochie Beh, president of the theatre company, said: “In today’s society and especially in the Lane Cove community this behaviour needs to be condemned. Whether one supports the content of the play we are producing or not, this behaviour is unacceptable. “To have the tyres of patrons and the crews slashed is just completely unacceptable and not something we should be tolerating in Australian society.”
