The Theater of Fact (The Inquest, The Deputy, Galileo, After the Fall, etc.) is a 'Theater of Everyman's Individual Responsibility' concerned with the conflict between man's ideal image of himself and the ruthlessness or cowardice he is capable of in the interest of his own survival. Accordingly it is entirely understandable that the Theater of Fact originated in Germany. The author feels the Theater of Fact can help make audiences aware of their own instincts for destructiveness, hatred, and selfishness, and of the objective reality of the existence and vulnerability of evil forces; if so, it contributes to the effectiveness of every man's responsibility.
