The Lord Chamberlain was responsible for the "chamber" or the household "above stairs": that is, the series of rooms used by the Sovereign to receive increasingly select visitors, terminating in the royal bedchamber (although the bedchamber itself came to operate semi-autonomously under the <a href="/wiki/Groom_of_the_Stool" title="Groom of the Stool">Groom of the Stool/Stole</a>).

To ensure that the chamber reflected the royal tastes, the Lord Chamberlain received commands directly from the sovereign to be transmitted to the heads of subordinate departments.<a href="#cite_note-bucholz-intro-3">[3]</a> In 1594, the Lord Chamberlain, <a href="/wiki/Henry_Carey,_1st_Baron_Hunsdon" title="Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon">Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon</a>, founded the <a href="/wiki/Lord_Chamberlain%27s_Men" title="Lord Chamberlain's Men">Lord Chamberlain's Men</a>, for which <a href="/wiki/William_Shakespeare" title="William Shakespeare">William Shakespeare</a> was a part (and later a shareholder in the company) and for whom he wrote most of his plays during his career.

The <a href="/wiki/Licensing_Act_1737" title="Licensing Act 1737">Licensing Act 1737</a> gave the Lord Chamberlain the statutory authority to veto the performance of any new plays: he could prevent any new play, or any modification to an existing play, from being performed for any reason, and theatre owners could be prosecuted for staging a play (or part of a play) that had not received prior approval. Historically though, the Lord Chamberlain had been exercising a commanding authority on London's theatre companies under the <a href="/wiki/Royal_prerogative_in_the_United_Kingdom" title="Royal prerogative in the United Kingdom">Royal Prerogative</a> for many decades already. But by the 1730s the theatre was not controlled by royal patronage anymore. Instead it had become more of a commercial business. Therefore, the fact the Lord Chamberlain still retained censorship authority for the next 200 years gave him uniquely repressive authority during a period where Britain was experiencing "growing political enfranchisement and liberalization".<a href="#cite_note-:3-5">[5]</a> Even further confusion rested in the fact that Members of Parliament could not present changes to the censorship laws because although the Lord Chamberlain exercised his authority under statute law, he was still an official whose authority was derived from the Royal Prerogative.<a href="#cite_note-:3-5">[5]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Theatres_Act_1843">Theatres Act 1843</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Lord_Chamberlain&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Theatres Act 1843">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Theatres_Act_1843" title="Theatres Act 1843">Theatres Act 1843</a></div> By the 1830s, it started to become clear that the theatre licensing system in England needed an upgrade. Playwrights, instead of representatives of minor theatres, actually initiated the final push for reform as they felt that their livelihoods were being negatively affected by the monopoly the larger theatres had on the industry, backed by the laws in the 1737 Act.<a href="#cite_note-:3-5">[5]</a> A Select Committee was formed in 1832 with the purpose of examining the laws that affected dramatic literature. Their main complaints were the lack of copyright protection for their work and more importantly that only two <a href="/wiki/Patent_theatres" class="mw-redirect" title="Patent theatres">patent theatres</a> in London could legitimately perform new plays. After more pressure from playwrights and theatre managers, the findings of the committee were finally presented to Parliament.<a href="#cite_note-:3-5">[5]</a> It was the proposals of this committee that Parliament implemented in the <a href="/wiki/Theatres_Act_1843" title="Theatres Act 1843">Theatres Act of 1843</a>. The Act still confirmed the absolute powers of censorship enjoyed by the Lord Chamberlain but still slightly restricted his powers so that he could only prohibit the performance of plays where he was of the opinion that "it is fitting for the preservation of good manners, decorum or of the public peace so to do". The Act, however, did abolish the monopoly that the patent houses had in London, providing a minor win for playwrights and theatre managers wishing to produce new work.<a href="#cite_note-:3-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-:2-1">[1]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Theatres_Act_1968">Theatres Act 1968</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Lord_Chamberlain&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Theatres Act 1968">edit</a>]</div> In 1909, a Joint Select Committee on Stage Plays (Censorship) was established and recommended that the Lord Chamberlain should continue to act as censor but that it could be lawful to perform plays without a licence from the Lord Chamberlain.<a href="#cite_note-:2-1">[1]</a> However, <a href="/wiki/Edward_VII" title="Edward VII">King Edward VII</a> refused to accept these recommendations. The outbreak of both World Wars put an end to any parliamentary initiatives to change the laws regarding theatre censorship for many years. In 1948, the first British Theatre Conference recommended the termination of theatre censorship with the plan to pursue parliamentary action to ratify this.<a href="#cite_note-:2-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-:3-5">[5]</a> In the 1960s the debate to abolish theatre censorship rose again as a new generation of young playwrights came on the scene. They gained popularity with their new plays in local establishments, but since many were refused a licence by the Lord Chamberlain, they could not transfer to the <a href="/wiki/West_End_theatre" title="West End theatre">West End</a>. In the case of <a href="/wiki/John_Osborne" title="John Osborne">John Osborne's</a> play <a href="/wiki/A_Patriot_for_Me" title="A Patriot for Me">A Patriot for Me</a>, the Lord Chamberlain at the time, <a href="/wiki/Cameron_Cobbold,_1st_Baron_Cobbold" title="Cameron Cobbold, 1st Baron Cobbold">Lord Cobbold</a>, was irritated that the play was so widely publicized even though he had banned it and therefore pursued legal action. In the end, the play was allowed to continue as it was. At this point, several widely regarded authors had all been censored by the Lord Chamberlain at one time or another, including playwrights <a href="/wiki/Henrik_Ibsen" title="Henrik Ibsen">Henrik Ibsen</a> and <a href="/wiki/George_Bernard_Shaw" title="George Bernard Shaw">George Bernard Shaw</a>. Sometimes censorship was self-serving. A comedy written for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in the early 1960s had, as its plot, a jocular scheme to steal the Crown jewels. The Lord Chamberlain issued a one-line letter requiring the excision of that plot element. As <a href="/wiki/Michael_Palin" title="Michael Palin">Michael Palin</a>, one of its authors and performers notes, that meant banning the entire production.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> Another Joint Select Committee was founded to further debate on the issue and present a solution. This time the argument largely centered around this issue on the portrayal of living and recently dead individuals, particularly in reference to the monarchy as well as politicians.<a href="#cite_note-:2-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-:3-5">[5]</a> After much debate, the <a href="/wiki/Theatres_Act_1968" title="Theatres Act 1968">Theatres Act 1968</a> was finally passed; it officially abolished the censorship of the stage and repealed the Lord Chamberlain's power to refuse a licence to a play of any kind.<a href="#cite_note-:2-1">[1]</a> The first London performance of the musical <a href="/wiki/Hair_(musical)" title="Hair (musical)">Hair</a> was actually delayed until the Act was passed after a licence had been refused.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Aftermath">Aftermath</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Lord_Chamberlain&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Aftermath">edit</a>]</div> The battle regarding the abolition of censorship was largely a political one, fought on principle. Those who opposed the termination of this particular duty of the Lord Chamberlain were mostly concerned about how to protect the reputation of the royal family and the government instead of controlling obscenity and blasphemy on stage. However, this concern has largely been unfounded. Since the termination of censorship, British drama has flourished and produced several prominent playwrights and new works since.
