By examining four playwrights - George Bernard Shaw, Bertolt
Brecht, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Eugene Ionesco - Politics and Theatre
in Twentieth-Century Europe looks at how political theatre has
unraveled in the modern era due to the 'art of separation, '
wherein political concerns have been removed from the realm of
theatre. When political theorists often discuss theatre, they do so
mainly within the confines of ancient Greek playwrights,
overlooking the salient and meaningful political discourse within
more contemporary literature. Focusing squarely on the political
elements of Shaw, Brecht, Sarte, and Ionesco, Morgan reintroduces
political discourse into discussions of theatre - linking
playwright to political philosopher, and their literature to the
greater field of political discourse.
