I think Theatre gets a bad rap because it’s not in a great state these days, and many of you will think of ‘theatre kids’ and Hamilton before anything else.
However, it’s a medium with a very radical history, and a lot of potential for interactive pieces that that can truly educate people about revolutionary practice and so on. I truly think it’s overlooked.

Bonus question: what’s your favourite piece of Theatre that you’ve seen?
My favourite is Accidental Death of An Anarchist, a surreal farce comedy about an anarchist dying in an Italian police station. The writer, Dario Fo, was a dedicated anti-fascist, and The Internationale was played at his funeral. Here’s a translated production of it from the 80’s:

How they got away with explicitly Marxist material on Channel 4 at the time I’ll never know.
