Scope

__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Scope","replies":[]}}-->

Theatrical performances, plays, and drama that explore the relationship between politics and art. Political theatre may include satire of current events or politicians, a dramatic illustration of the way a political issue affects a specific person or community, or a more subtle commentary on the issues of the day. Examples include Young@Heart's musical coalition-building, Vietnam protest theatre, and the plays of Bertolt Brecht.

Much more detail and categorization is needed. The references are somewhat haphazard at the moment.
The article mentions political theatre as part of main processes of the Athenian city-state but leaves out discussing the political significance of state-associated theatre in later times and modern day
The article suggest that all modern political theatre is marginalized as an "outsider" medium and a voice for "the people" and for the oppressed - this comes across as unbalanced - do only the state-oppressed make political theatre? For instance, what about state-funded political plays in Communist countries?
There needs to be mention of the major political theatre works in since the 1990s, especially the British trend for plays based on transcripts of real world events

Although subsequent contributions have made some gestures in the directions detailed above, all of these criticisms remain valid and the article still needs substantial work.

There are at least two definitions of political theater. The other definition was removed March 2017. They should both be on this page or there should be a disambiguation. "Kabuki Dance" is more of a racial slur than a useful synonym. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.249.171.35 (talk) 15:20, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-06-29T15:20:00.000Z","author":"172.249.171.35","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-172.249.171.35-2019-06-29T15:20:00.000Z-Include_Second_Definition","replies":[]}}-->
