Abstract
Crisis Theatre and The Living Newspapers traces a history of
the living newspaper as a theatre of crisis from Soviet Russia (1910s),
through the Federal Theatre Project of the Great Depression in America (1930s), to Augusto Boal’s teatro jornal in Brazil (1970s), and its resonance with documentary forms deployed in the final years of
apartheid in South Africa (1990s), up until the present day in the UK
(2020s). Across this Element, the authors are interested in what

By holding these diverse examples together, the authors assert the Living Newspaper as a form of Crisis Theatre
