theatre of fact

Documentary Theatre, also known as Theatre of Fact, which emerged as a profound German dramatic movement in the early 1960s.

The Theatre of Fact playwrights, through their politically charged plays, delved into recent historical events by scrutinizing official documents and court records. With a focus on revealing the truth behind official versions of history, they employed the techniques of advocacy journalism and curated edited documentary sources to present their narratives authentically.

This movement not only influenced the theatrical landscape in Europe and North America but also set the stage for a surge in political drama, especially in addressing significant events like the Vietnam War. As a result, numerous plays tackling such pivotal moments in history started surfacing during the 1970s
