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.
Extracted from ‘I Introduced Joyce to a Dublin Newspaper Office’, Irish Independent (Dublin), 4 July 1962, p. 5. Condensed as ‘Joyce Among the Journalists’, Irish Digest (Dublin), 75 (September 1962) 71–3.
