What is the point of Political Theatre?

I think that the point of political theatre is that is raises questions about the environment we are living in and how it effects different people. This type of theatre also prompts the audience not to accept societies social norms, its about art that makes us question and stand up to the status quo. I believe that this is a very effective way to inform people of all ages about the issues in politics but it does it in a very entertaining way which draws us in more as an audience. 

Political Theatre should leave the audience feeling motivated to do something or create a change, but it should also leave them questioning themselves and the society they live in. This type of theatre is a way the actors can comment what they feel about the issue they are facing, while also confronting the government. Political theatre is a tool used by old and young actors, it gives actors,directors etc to talk about the issues they face and they cannot be stopped for it.
