Abstract
IN ITS ATTEMPT TO ILLUSTRATE MAN'S CONDITION and the world of our time the theater has two alternatives. It can create on the stage a reality of its own where the laws of the world outside the theater are only partly valid. The other alternative is to approximate to the world outside and to start with the social and historical facts. The type of Piscator's "agitprop" theater has appealed strongly to writers and directors in the theater of the 1960s and this has resulted in a new wave of social and political activity. At the same time the theater itself has undergone great changes: the similarity of views required for participation in political documentary theater has favored the formation of small, free-form theatrical groups. The actors of the play are often obliged to have the same view of life and the same political ideas as those expressed by the author and his play.
