Political theatre thrives on turbulence. By turning the political
issues of the day into a potent, dramatic art form, its
practitioners hold up a mirror to our society - with the power to
shock, discomfit and entertain. Scenes from the Revolution is a
celebration of fifty years of political theatre in Britain.
Including 'lost' scripts from companies including Broadside Mobile
Workers Theatre, The Women's Theatre Group and The General Will,
with incisive commentary from contemporary political theatre
makers, the book asks the essential questions: What can be learnt
from our rich history of political theatre? And how might
contemporary practitioners apply these approaches to our current
politically troubled world? Beginning with a short history of
pre-1968 political theatre - covering Brecht, Joan Littlewood and
Ewan McColl - the editors move on to explore agit-prop,
working-class theatre, theatre in education, theatre and race,
women's theatre and LGBTQ theatre. Featuring many of the leading
voices in the field, then and now, Scenes from the Revolution is a
must-read for anyone interested in politics in the arts.
