Revolutionary Theater[edit]

I propose to add information about Revolutionary theater focusing on how surveillance was portrayed in various plays during this time. In addition, I would like to expand on how counterrevolutionary ideas in plays created a dialogue fostering criticism of public surveillance and might have led to specific revolts.

Merge?[edit]

Perhaps this article, in a reduced form, belongs in the article on the history of theater in France?

There appeared to be no real discussion about the merge, and it was not implemented. Reading the article, I see no real problems with it. It needed a little cleaning-up, but wasn't nearly as bad as the proposal implied. It is well-sourced and gives information that would overwhelm the Theatre in France article. In line with the summary principle, the information here should be summarised in the main article. I've cleaned this article up, and standardised citations to the MLA author-date format.

I would like to consider expanding the information on this page. Perhaps expanding the theatre's connection to politics and revolutionary themes. For example, I would like to expand a bit upon the significance of the plays that Maslan discusses, La Chaste Suzanne and L'Époux républicain. Cedd2736 (talk) 23:00, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
