Summary/Abstract: The article gives two examples from Romanian history when politics interfered with literature, in this cases with drama or, more precisely, with the theatrical performances. The texts were censored, being considered inappropriate in the political context in which they were written, in fact not corresponding to the official ideology of the time. One example is from the Communist period – the best known for its censorship practices – but the other one belongs to a period usually considered a period of cultural, economic and democratic apogee. The conclusion is that in fact censorship has always existed in all ages, in various forms, coming mostly from the political sphere but not only, as demonstrated by many researchers of the topic.
