Is A Revolution Brewing In The West End?

The world of British theatre has been taken with the theme of rebellion against authority for some time now. But 18 months after the British/American invasion of Iraq, “polite skepticism and goofy satire are shading into something closer to wall-to-wall paranoia.” From multiple plays which deal blatantly with current global events to a revival of One Through Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, the productions currently on display in London’s West End reveal a distinctly dark and seditious mood that is obviously striking a chord with the UK’s theatregoers.
