NEW YORK — James Franco is adding another notch to his expansive resume — stage director. Rattlestick Playwrights Theater said Monday that Franco will direct Robert Boswell’s world premiere play “The Long Shrift” from July 7-Aug. 23. The off-Broadway job will coincide with Franco’s current one on Broadway as an actor in “Of Mice and Men.” Franco has seemingly
been dipping his toe into every element of show business, from acting in TV and films like “Pineapple Express” and “Spider-Man” to screenwriting and producing, or writing a novel and being an artist. He made his Broadway debut this spring with Chris O’Dowd playing two tragic migrant workers trying to make their way through the aftermath of drought and the Depression in 1930s America. The play ends its run on July 27.

DENPASAR - Smooth reclamation plan of Benoa Bay with the issuance of Presidential Regulation No. 51/2014 continues to reap criticism from various elements of Balinese society. People consider the policy will not only bring in socio-economic impacts on the people of Bali, but even result in environmental damage and new poverty pockets. Chairman of the Center for Business Economic Data Analysis, Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University, Dr. Sudjana Budhi, said the development of Benoa Bay reclamation would be definitely beneficial for several officials in Bali Province, not the public. Villages at Benoa Bay would be isolated by the presence of tourist destinations in the version of investors because the tourist destination development was impossible to be coupled with the daily life of local community all at once. “The tourist destinations will only get in touch with tourist management services, so the access control of tourism will isolate the locals. If the investors are said to bring in job opportunities, it is only a slogan that is not proved to have a positive impact on the community, especially at the location of Benoa Bay,” said Budhi Sudjana in Denpasar. He said the parameter of job opportunities defined by the
Bali government was too narrow, where the investors were expressed as the carriers of growth and employment providers. Meanwhile, the government was remarkably ignoring that livelihood as farmers and fishermen at Benoa Bay was also job opportunity. Even, they were more independent than they should devote themselves as laborers on investors. “The development of tourism facilities and industry is a kind of exclusive industry that will surely close all the access having no interest in the tourist services. Then, it can be ascertained if the entire customary villages in the Benoa Bay area will be isolated, as well as establishes a new enclave and becomes strangers in their own respective region. Economic impact could not be ascertained to drip to Balinese people because the business drive controlled by outside investors would not likely to share beyond business rules. No investor would dare to fight for the livelihood of
poor people,” he said. According to him, armed with the Presidential Regulation No.51/2014, the local investors would invite foreign investors to invest in the development of Benoa Bay tourist destination, so the investors got fresh capital to build facilities in the tourist destination. Local investors could also use foreign investors as a weapon to suppress Balinese people because the inconvenience to foreign investors would be linked to the future of international tourism. Investors with limited capital could share risk and foreign investors were used as a weapon in facing the people of Bali. “Meanwhile, Bali government will allow the process of searching for funds to foreign investors because it would get a share from the transaction process. Thus, the collaboration will benefit the investors, having prosperous impact on the livelihoods of the officials because the investors can control the state land at a low price, rather than purchasing ready-to-use land from the people. People who have performed rituals for the peace of Balinese people do not get any share,” he said. Continued on page 6
