on censorship in the theatre

Filed under: anton krueger, censorship — ABRAXAS @ 10:22 am

incidents of violence are really the tip of the iceberg
which indicates the severe restrictions of the communal
which are deeply entrenched –
any writer who wants respect or money or awards
is operating under conditions of severe self censorship.

self censorship – all pervasive in hollywood and commercial theatre,
any standards of authenticity, relevance, ideals of truth and so on
have long ago left the building…

one might compare theatre which creates a product (i.e. Wilson) and then finds an audience / theatre with that which first susses out the audience and then gives them what they want…
