Does theatre matter? by Lauren Mooney
"Ultimately there are as many ways for theatre to matter as there are types of theatre – and these days there are lots. From the sweepingly grand blockbuster-style big shows you find in the West End or at the National Theatre, to the intimacy of experimental work in small hot rooms at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, or the excitement of wandering up a set of stairs at the back of a pub and not knowing what you’ll find at the top. Theatre, like all good art, can be an exercise in escapism or empathy, an adventure or food for the soul, or all of them – you might laugh, you might cry, but either way you’re sharing something with strangers, and in an increasingly divided world that feels important." Does theatre matter? by Lauren Mooney Theatre is irrelevant to activism., though, that's for sure: get serious!
