#Saved is a #Play by #EdwardBond that premiered at the #RoyalCourtTheatre. Set in 60’s #London it’s a story of a frustrated generation growing up in cultural poverty on council estates. #LordChamberlain refused a #LegitimateDrama license unless censored & when performed, all were prosecuted. The legal case backfired & was pivotal to the abolition of #Theatre censorship #WestEnd

#LegitimateDrama dates back to the defunct English Licensing Act of 1737 that restricted performances of serious “spoken drama” to 2 licensed patent theatres. To control what was said about the British government a Legitimate #Theatre could be easily censored, whilst illegitimate theatres would show only lighter formats: #MusicHall #Pantomime #Burlesque or #Melodrama #WestEnd

Distinctions between #LegitimateDrama & "illegitimate" #Theatre ended in 1968. Triggered by the #EdwardBond play #Saved performed at the #RoyalCourtTheatre who lent their licensed stage to another company so they could perform the #Play as Bond had written. The evasion was challenged & declared a violation, the repeal led to the abolition of theatre censorship in the UK.
