Synopsis
From 1737, any play scheduled for performance in England was subject to censorship by the Lord Chamberlain's office. After questions in the house, the practice was finally abolished in 1968. This book offers history of English stage censorship, and provides a detailed picture not just of theatre, but of a society policing its own imagination.

Review
'By far the best guide to the past 100 years [of the theatre]... not least because de Jongh has a case to argue and does so with polemical flair' Aleks Sierz, Independent on Sunday; 'A wonderfully waspish account of the Lord Chamberlain's censoring of the British stage in the twentieth century...You have to either laugh or cry at this extraordinary reminder of British sexual unease... that de Jongh here so splendidly explores' Sheridan Morley, Literary Review; 'An exhilarating read... De Jongh ranges over his subject with a sprightly sense of mischief, wit, and deadly serious intent' The Times
