Laurence Housman (18 July 1865 - 20 February 1959) was an English playwright, writer and illustrator. Some of Housman's plays caused scandals because of depiction of biblical characters and living members of the Royal House on stage, and many of them were only played privately until the subsequent relaxation of theatrical censorship. In 1937 the Lord Chamberlain ruled that no British sovereign may be portrayed on the stage until 100 years after his or her accession. For this reason, Victoria Regina could not be staged until the centenary of Queen Victoria's accession, 20 June 1937. This was a Sunday, so the premiere took place the next day. This was the first acting version to be published. Ref ZZ2. E. H. Shepard (ilustrador).…
