Shaw left an unfinished play when he died. The public trustee, as executor, refused permission to publish this fragment. Britton, with Shaw's consent, has finished the play but now the whole work, fragment and completed play, has been banned by the trustee. This has caused a stir and the trustee has referred to the Society of Authors to determine the literary merit of the complete play. Britton considers this a case of censorship, saying: "Literature everywhere in the world should have the right to be judged by the world, and not by individuals or bodies."
