Earlier this year, Dame Eddie, the Australian born performer currently based in England, entered into a contract with a Saudi Arabian theatre company to give ten shows in Saudi Arabia in June of this year. The contract was negotiated and signed in England and it was envisaged by all parties that the audiences would be primarily made up of English people, Europeans and Americans temporarily working or living in Saudi Arabia. It was a term of the contract that nothing in the performances would give offence to the Saudi people or their government. Within 12 hours of her first performance, Dame Eddie received notice that certain parts of the show were offensive to the government of Saudi Arabia and that if these parts were not modified for the second show, she would not be allowed to give the remaining shows. Dame Eddie was incensed by this and vowed not to change any of her material.
