Theatre is a powerful art form and has often been feared by the leadership or political organizations of societies. In chapter 2 of the textbook, you have also seen that politics had an impact on Elizabethan theatre and the Beijing Opera. For this assignment, you will need to do some research either on-line or at a library.

EXAMINE the theatres or films produced in the current or previous century (20th or 21st centuries only) in a country/culture outside of the United States in which political strife, military strife, or social upheaval has impacted the arts in that country.

EXPLAIN how the situation affects the theatrical art (plays, movies, or TV shows) produced in that region.
