But the Tricycle Theatre does actually tend to do that, according to this article they've always been very consistent in not allowing any events which are tinged by political partisanship:

Quote:
The reason I don’t believe Rubasingham and her colleagues to be guilty even of an unconscious kind of prejudice is the consistency of their approach. Their enthusiasm for the UKJFF in the past counts for something; so do their offers to make up the lost funding, and their plainly sincere vow that they would take no money from any party to the conflict.

It’s particularly worth noting that Rubasingham has consistently taken pains to avoid compromising the Tricycle’s position by allowing any political association to colour its audience’s view of its work: recently, for example, she turned down a booking for a Labour party fundraiser.
The writer does actually go on to criticise the cancellation and makes a fair argument, but even if the decision was a misjudged one I can understand the intention and don't think accusations of anti-semitism are at all fair
