Sumario:This article considers the relationship between culture, specifically the theatre, and the State during the Second Republic and analyses some of the work of certain writers who employed propagandistic theatre to further their political aims. It examines the purpose, both political and artistic, of this theatre before going on to demonstrate how its reception by the state¿s censors during the Second Republic and the early Civil War years mirrored the political changes and confusión of the period. Finally, some conclusions are drawn about the worth of this theatre, both as art and as social document.
