Adam Pottle Thought #5

TRANSCRIPT: Thought number 5: Just because a piece of art is politically progressive doesn't mean that it's good. A politically charged play must balance aesthetics with politics. It must tell the story honestly, not didactically. If one wants to be merely political one can hand out pamphlets or write manifestos instead of plays.
