ABSTRACT

This spirit of innovation and determination, as expressed by Shaw in the above quote, is perpetuated in the notion of political theatre. If the desired for political circumstances are not forthcoming, the theatre mobilizes them into a microcosmic representation of its own. It creates a montage entity in which the political and the universal phenomena are integrated to present the world from the point of view of the class ideology of the artists who seek political change. In this article we examine how a classic script can be given a unique political production, while analyzing the fate of an artistic work that attempts to present theatre from within the perspective of everyday life.
