Post subject: | 'There was Laughter in the House........' |
Following a production of a stage play, 'Nelson's Enchantress', there were protests in Parliament about showing contempt for a national hero: see the extract from Hansard below: http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/comm ... stage-play and a picture of the actors: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VICTORIAN-THEATRE ... otohosting It might be amusing to read the script that caused such uproar. [For overseas readers: 'Hansard' is the edited, daily, verbatim reports of proceedings in Parliament.] http://www.parliament.the-stationery-of ... ansard.htm |
