Politically Incorrect – What’s It Take To Sell Political Theatre?

Political plays don’t have to be serious and hard to sit through. “Most great political plays aren’t about politics. It’s obvious to say they are about people, but some of the best are about people who are as far away from the political process as you can get. As in politics, the answer in the theatre seems to be: make plays appear cool, which only alienates people even more. It’s now extremely difficult to get a play produced unless it stars her out of EastEnders or him out of The Bill.”
