Homework questions
1- Why write the play for an audience in 2016?
I think the play was written for an audience in 2016 because it brings to light that these racial issues are such a huge issue and are destroying families still in modern society. Even when the majority of people are open and accepting and not like the people in the play there are still families like this in real life who need these issues to stop, by writing a play about racial issues it creates a conversation that causes awareness and fixes issues. Another theme in the play is sexual assault as Steve sexually assaults Angel and the play revolves around them learning if this is true or not, this is another large issue in today's society that is seen as taboo and not commonly talked about.
2- Why are we studying this is in the political term?
We are studying this in the political term because it is a play with political themes of modern issues that need to be fixed. Themes such as race, sexual assault, family, growing up, neglect.
3- How does this play fit with the ethos of the Royal court?
The Royal court's ethos is to provide a space for undiscovered cultivating writers to become established and have a place for their plays to be performed. They are a very risque theatre who break conventional boundaries and put on plays with taboo themes. The writer of Torn Nathaniel Martello-White is a young British actor who isn't a hugely successful well known playwright, he fits the ethos of the Royal Court. The play also talks about taboo topics and explores outside the box of 'theatre society'.
