The Vienna Burg-theater may have to cancel a planned tour of Israel because some of the actors are afraid of Arab terrorist activities. Fritz Klingenberg, director of the State-owned theater, said today he was informed by several actors they could not go to Israel “for family, reasons.” But theater sources said they cancelled their participation because of last week’s terrorist attack in Tel Aviv. The Burgtheater was scheduled to start its guest performances in Israel March 17. The Austrian government will have to make a final decision whether to cancel the whole tour, Klingenberg said.
