Dame Maureen Lipman had earlier been critical of the group Artists for Palestine UK who had published a letter accusing Israel of war crimes in Gaza.
Coronation Street actress Dame Maureen Lipman said ITV offered security to protect her from antisemitic attacks. The actress, 77, who plays Evelyn Plummer in the soap, is quoted by The Sun as telling an event at the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism that she found the offer 'a real surprise' before adding 'this is where we are now'. ITV told the newspaper: 'The wellbeing of all our cast and crew is of utmost importance.
It's like a dystopian nightmare. 'A Jewish actress putting on a play about antisemitism which needs to be made secure because of Jew-hating extremists. 'As one reviewer said, 'written in 1600, set in 1936, as relevant today in 2023'. Ain't that the truth.' Dame Maureen had earlier been critical of the group Artists for Palestine UK who had published a letter accusing Israel of war crimes in Gaza.
