This presentation explores the governmental censorship of West Side Story in England through the Lord Chamberlain's office in 1958. This lecture not only looks at how theatre was censored in England in the past, but how we must be wary of this happening today in America. With the controversy surrounding the Public Theatre's Julius Caesar, it is important to look at the history of censorship with a critical yet humorous eye.
