German Censor Curbs Play OEdipus Rex in 19th Century Theatre
A London Globe excerpt notes Dr. Robert Heind’s Munich study on German censorship. It recounts Viennese rules in 1795 limiting engaged couples on stage, Stuttgart’s concern over Goethe’s Iphigenia in Tauros, and the demand for yellow tights to cover bare legs. Censorial strictness extended to decorum of words and thoughts, not just politics.
