Satire
Angebote / Angebote:
How has satire been used by theatre artists and what have its targets been? How has its form and function changed in different ages? Joel Schechter reconsiders the entertainment, political dissent and comic social commentary created by innovative writers and directors since this theatrical form took the stage in ancient Athens. Arranged chronologically, it reveals how writers and artists from Aristophanes to the 18th-century plays of John Gay and Henry Fielding, to the creations of Joan Littlewood, Bertolt Brecht, Vsevelod Meyerhold, Erika Mann, Brendan Behan and Dario Fo, have all prompted audiences to laugh at corruption, greed, injustice and abusive authority.
