Yes, there could potentially be repercussions if the play was interrupted, as it may be seen as a disrespectful act that undermines the cultural significance of the performance.

I meant the traditional play was interrupted by the police man
Apologies for the confusion. If a traditional play was interrupted by a police officer in Papua New Guinean culture, the potential repercussions could include anger and resentment from the community towards the police officer, protests or demonstrations against the interference, and a possible strain in the relationship between the community and the police. The interruption may also be perceived as a violation of cultural rights and could be viewed as an infringement on the community's autonomy and self-governance.
Bare in mind it happened in the past
If a traditional play was interrupted by a police officer in the past in Papua New Guinean culture, the repercussions could have included resentment towards the officer, frustration or disappointment within the community, discussions or debates about the preservation of cultural practices, and potential attempts to prevent similar disruptions in the future. Additionally, it may have sparked conversations about the extent of colonial influences and the impact on traditional cultural expressions.
