Abstract
In 1909 George Bernard Shaw wrote a one-act play, The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet, which he described as ‘a sermon in crude melodrama’. The play was to be produced in a West-End (London) theatre when the Censor of Plays banned it. Certain references by Blanco Posnet to the Deity, which sounded disrespectful, were objected to. Shaw refused to alter them.
