David Edgar’s Testing the Echo : a contemporary insight towards new human issues

الملخص EN

The view of theatre as a religious framework used for preaching has been demolished with the appearance of globalization.

Theatre is no longer exclusive to moral themes which are enacted on stage.

Recently, it becomes an inseparable part of human life which interacted with the immediate human issues such as immigration, multiculturalism, racism, and unexpected social deterioration.

The present paper is an attempt to shed light on David Edgar’s Testing the Echo (2008) which manifests various challenges that confront immigrants and the British theatre in the 2000s as well.
