Where Are The Right-Wing Playwrights?

Oscar winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes says there’s a problem with today’s theatre. What? There’s a shortage of right-wing playwrights. “There are all sorts of interesting areas for the right wing playwright to get into – the subversion of parliament, the intrusion of government into every day life. You could write a play about any of these things and technically it would be a right wing play but the phrase ‘right wing’ has now been kind of cast out into the shadows.”
