The office you're referring to is likely the Lord Chamberlain's Office in England. Historically, the Lord Chamberlain had the authority to license plays and censor any performances that were thought to be immoral or politically subversive. This power was significant until the 1968 Theatres Act, which abolished the requirement for plays to be licensed by the Lord Chamberlain, leading to greater freedom in theatrical productions.
