The Guardian:

Iranian authorities have detained two artists over a theatre production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Shahram Karami, a cultural official, told the official Irna news agency on Monday that Iran’s judiciary had ordered the detention of the Shakespeare play’s director, Maryam Kazemi, and the manager of the theatre in which it was hosted, Saeed Assadi.

Karami said they were taken into custody on Sunday evening after the broadcast of a video trailer about the work. He said it had caused a "misunderstanding”, but did not elaborate, adding that a court had accepted to release the pair on $24,000 (£18,500) bail each.
