Controversial Play 'TERF' on JK Rowling's Trans Views Faces Security Concerns

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival production explores Rowling's conflicts with 'Harry Potter' stars over transgender rights, prompting anticipated protests.

Playwright Joshua Kaplan's 'TERF' imagines a fictional intervention by 'Harry Potter' actors addressing Rowling's stance on trans rights.
The production has already changed venues and implemented additional security measures due to expected disruptions.
Kaplan's script includes scenes depicting influences on Rowling's views, involving key male figures from her life.
Producers and cast members have faced online harassment, with fears of doxxing and abuse towards the involved trans actress.
Despite controversy, there is high demand for tickets, and the play's run is scheduled from August 1 to 25 at the Assembly Rooms.
