French Revolution Theatre

French Revolution Theatre refers to dramatic works produced during the late 18th century that reflect the social upheaval and ideological shifts of the French Revolution (1789-1799). These plays often conveyed themes of liberty, equality, justice, and resistance to tyranny, aiming to inspire revolutionary fervor and critique monarchy and aristocracy. Embracing Enlightenment ideas, such theatre of this period used powerful language, allegory, and symbolism to challenge traditional authority and promote civic virtues. It played a significant role in shaping public opinion, fostering patriotism, and expressing the revolutionary spirit through compelling performances.
