What is political theatre?


Political Theatre, is Theatre that moves away from your ordinary story telling. I believe that Political Theatre is there to give a voice to someone who is expressing there opinion on the politics we live in today. It should leave the audience motivated inspired and questioning the society in which we live and them selfs over all what life choices they have made and ones they will make to contribute to a more stable future for them to live in.
I believe it addresses several issues, not just politics and the Government. We live in a society where Homophobia, racism, Discrimination and Prejudice are common occurrences. Through Theatre, we can confront those issues and make the audience think about them. We can also confront the Government, and the current affairs we see on the news everyday.
Political Theatre weapon used by actors to fight against what should be changed. as a tool to mold the minds of he audience into thinking for or against. It gives us a chance as Actors, Directors and even Writers to talk about the issues we face everyday, and with political theatre we are so blessed that we really do have an influential voice and people listen no matter if the spectator agrees or disagrees we have the power to make people think!
