Theatre censorship had a profound impact on the cultural and political life of the Georgians. Leading experts on 18th and 19th-century theatre will explore the implications of statutory theatre censorship as Britain grappled with issues of modernity, race, gender, and religion during a period of imperial expansion and conflict.
