Politics is drama, and drama is very often political. So it was on this day Before The Lockdown.
The Absence of War, at the Theatre Royal Bath was a fictionalised interpretation of the conflicts within the Labour Party in the lead up to the 1992 general election.
However, although taking it's cue from those events it does ask a much more universal question about our politics. Do we want politicians to be true to themselves, to be honest about their flaws as much as their skills and abilities? If presented with a choice of an open, honest, and transparent candidate in opposition to one who taps into our media-fed prejudices and expectations would we ever choose the former.
The party in this play could never trust the integrity of their idealistic leader so instead tied him to 'accepted' truths and the rules of the game that had been followed for generations before. In this case, as in the actual general election, they lost because denying the possibility of significant change allowed the stale winds of old ideas and traditional prejudices to maintain the status quo.
The frightening thing is that today's politics is actually so very similar. We think that we have new bold and brash "speakers of truth" to the establishment but they are, in fact, nothing of the sort. They are not honest men but pawns of greater and more powerful entrenched interests that use the new technologies of mass media to create disaffection particularly against the forces of democratisation and accountability that had been taking shape during the later part of the twentieth century.
