Royal Court Theatre, London
TO CONFRONT the travails of our time, the Royal Court has splendidly revived the theatre tradition of The Living Newspaper, developed from the early Soviet agitprop groups, through the documentary work of the US Federal Theatre Project in the years of the Great Depression and in the pre-war political work of London s Unity Theatre.
Like their New York predecessor, the Royal Court Project will provide employment for the hard-pressed theatre profession, using 60 writers and over 200 freelance artists who are mounting promenade productions inside and outside the Royal Court theatre.
Played to both a limited live audience and online, this is the first of six weekly editions which engage in a variety of styles including songs, interviews and sketches dealing with situations and attitudes addressing our Covid-19-fuelled anxieties, bewilderment and fears.
