A foreign national has been detained for questioning in an attack on a theater in Monaghan County, Ireland, that had just finished a performance of Larry Kramer's "The Normal Heart."
According to the Irish Times, the March 11 incident caused extensive damage to the windows and interior of the Iontas Theatre at Bree. Nearby cars also were damaged.
A police spokesman told the Times, "We cannot comment on whether there is any link between the [gay] nature of the drama festival presentation and the criminal damage which took place."
