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.

    Hades town is fantastic! Out of the classics, I’m a big fan of Guys and Dolls. Repo: the Genetic Opera is really good too. Now you’ve got me wanting to write effort posts about deconstructing shows. The Whipping Man is a fantastic play that talks about race and religion in the immediate post Civil-war from an enslaved jewish perspective.
