THE Royal Court Theatreâs
Living Newspaper draws on the radical history of the Federal Theatre Project of the US that mobilised unemployed artists and theatre workers after the Great Depression. The Living Newspaper was a politically themed response to a time of civic and economic trauma and the commissioned plays dealt with issues of the day.
The Royal Court has created six editions of living newspapers for our times, led by writers, and working with freelance actors, designers, stage managers, technicians and choreographers. Each edition launches with a live streamed performance of
The Front Page, and then is available to watch for two weeks.
