CENSORSHIP AND ME
A lecture
I’ve been a censored being from the beginning of my career...
By Brad Fraser

I’m going to deliver a 45 minute lecture on censorship. That’s a rather broad subject so I’ve narrowed it down to something more manageable.  This lecture is completely personal and subjective and about the long and interesting relationship I’ve had with censorship. It’s seen mostly through the prism of my experience as a playwright and as a gay man; two roles that know a lot about being censored. In fact, I’ve been a censored being from the beginning of my career, as you’ll learn.
