3 ‘Macbeth’ Witches Losing Legal Fig Leaf
Seminole County commissioners in Florida did not mind that a local nightclub was serving up eye of newt, toe of frog, wool of bat and tongue of dog.
What they did object to was the fact that the three witches in the club’s version of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” were played by naked dancers.
The commissioners unanimously passed a law Tuesday night banning nudity in places that sell alcohol, closing a loophole in the public decency ordinance which the Club Juana nightclub in Casselberry had exploited to stage the naked witch scene.
The ordinance required strippers to cover at least part of their breasts and buttocks but exempted theatrical performances. The new ban takes effect June 29.
