White, Gareth (2009) The On Theatre Project: Social and Political Theatre and the Notion of the 'Theatre Essay', with On Theatre's Mick Gordon. In: The On Theatre Project, 3rd November 2009, The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. (Unpublished)

Abstract

On Theatre was set up in 2004 by award-winning artistic director Mick Gordon to explore the fundamental preoccupations of modern life through bold experimental theatre. Much of the company’s work takes the form of a ‘theatre essay’, a theatrical presentation taking a universal theme or contemporary subject and proceeding to debate, dramatise and present it on stage. To date they have explored big philosophical themes thorough their explanatorily-titled plays: On Death, On Love, On Ego, On Religion, On Emotion, On Memory, On Identity, On Truth, On Evolution.
