Item Overview:
An original 1961 theater programme for the pre-West End tour of the satirical musical revue “The Lord Chamberlain Regrets . . . !”. Written and devised by Peter Myers and Ronald Cass, this historic show famously poked fun at the strict British theater censorship system of the era. Because it was actively targeted by the actual Lord Chamberlain’s censorship office—resulting in several celebrity-parody sketches being banned or altered during this very tour—this programme holds significant British legal and theatrical history.
