"Much has been written about the importance of ancient theatre for political theory. In Politics and Theatre in Twentieth-Century Europe, Margot Morgan broadens that discussion by focusing on four of the most important playwrights of the twentieth century: George Bernard Shaw, Bertolt Brecht, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Eug Ionesco. Against the threats of totalitarianism, war, and political isolation, they used theatre to champion the dignity of the individual, the strength of the community, and the power of the imagination. Morgan explicates the lives and works of these playwrights and sees their innovations in theatre as providing a model for political practice"--
