Description:"Sir Robert had composed the most seditious, disgusting, obscene, shameful thing I had ever seen."It's 1737 and England is on edge: someone has tried to assassinate the king at the theatre, and every stageplay is a satire of the royal family. Enter Prime Minister Robert Walpole with a cunning scheme that will grant him power to censor anything that goes on stage -- by writing the filthiest play ever conceived. All he needs to pull it off is a patsy, which he finds in Henry Giffard, the proprietor of the theatre at Goodman's Fields. But will Giffard cooperate with the Prime Minister's plan, or will obscenity and satire be allowed to overrun the British stage?Based on true events, Slick Filth includes a recreation of the notorious play The Golden Rump, which so offended Parliament that new censorship laws were enacted for the first time in England's history.
