Censoring the Revolution

Hubert Griffith's play Red Sunday premiered at the Arts Theatre, London in June 1929 under the direction of Russian émigré Theodor Komisarjevsky.1 Subsequently, Griffith submitted the play to the Lord Chamberlain with the express aim of performing it on the West End stage.2 Lord Cromer rejected it, responding to vocal condemnation of the play from mainstream media-The Times criticized Red Sunday in an editorial entitled "A Dramatic Indiscretion"-and Buckingham Palace, from where the King, under pressure from exiled Russian royalists, requested it not be granted a license.3 The general consensus claimed that Red Sunday caused unwarranted "pain to Russians in London."4 This was primarily due to its focus on real people, particularly the deceased Russian Tsar Nicholas II, and its presentation of such a dramatic, bloody, and recent period of Russian history as "entertainment."

Ignoring calls to grant it a license, including "howls of protest from [George Bernard] Shaw among others," the censor deemed Red Sunday unsuitable for the mainstream stage.6 In this regard, it can be read as part of a diverse canon of modernist work rejected by the Censor, from Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts to Oscar Wilde's Salome.7

Why was a play, whose initial Komisarjevsky-directed performance John Gielgud (who played the character of Bronstein/Trotsky) praised as a celebration of "continuous life and movement on the stage," so heartedly rejected from the West End?8 Griffith provided an initial answer to this question by responding to The Times' editorial in the letters section of the same newspaper:

I treated his [the Tsar's] domestic character with the very utmost reverence and sympathy of which I was capable. But that, as...
