Shakespeare plays for 'storms' and 'depiction of magic'
A University has added trigger warnings on Willian Shakespeare’s works,
including for “extreme weather” and “popping balloons”.
A total of 220 warnings were added to his works, as well as famous
adaptations from the BBC, ITV, and theatrical versions.
The University of the West of England (UWE) told drama students that TV
adaptations of Macbeth referenced “war” and “psychological distress”.
For The Tempest, viewers were warned there may be “extreme weather” and
“depiction of magic.”
A 2016 stage adaptation was flagged because “popping of balloons” were
involved.
Warnings on The Winter’s Tale include “references to wild animal attack,” due
to it being alluded that a character was killed by a bear.
The same play also warns of “puppetry” and “pregnancy” as potential causes
of distress amongst the audience.

Of course GB news reported on it.

They are frothing at the mouth over a silly content warning.
Remember when a group of relgious people burned Harry Potter books because of depiction of magic? People get triggered over all sorts.
