Theater
Theatre or theater is a collaborative form of performing art that uses live performers, usually actors to present experiences of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place, often a stage. The performers may communicate this experience to the audience through combinations of gesture, speech, song, music, and dance. It is the oldest form of drama, though live theatre has now been joined by modern recorded forms. Elements of art, such as painted scenery and stagecraft such as lighting are used to enhance the physicality, presence and immediacy of the experience.

The political novel overlaps with the social novel, proletarian novel, and social science fiction.

The ''Republic'' is concerned with justice ( δικαιοσύνη), the order and character of the just city-state, and the just man. Other influential politically themed works include Thomas More's '' Utopia'' (1516), Jonathan Swift's '' Gulliver's Travels'' (1726), Voltaire's '' Candide'' (1759), and Harriet Beecher Stowe's '' Uncle Tom's Cabin'' (1852).
