Political satire is a significant part of satire that specialises in gaining entertainment from politics. It has also been used with subversive intent where political speech and dissent are forbidden by a regime, as a method of advancing forbidden political arguments where such arguments are expressly forbidden. Satire can be traced back throughout history; wherever organised government, or social categories have existed, so has satire. In this workshop, students will delve deep in current social and political issues and develop a satirical performance.
