Critical question 4

The reading spoke about the move from theatre being about moral wrongs of individuals to showing the follies of just not being part of a certain nation or cultural group. The case study at the end mentioned that in Germany they couldn’t have known that this sense of pride would in turn be twisted into serving the Nazi’s. My question is do you think the world would have been better off if people had tried to use theatre at this time to show unity between people of all kinds opposed to showing you why your country was the best and everyone else was less? Do you think it would have worked or would it have just been ignored?
