The Mayfesto Audience

Who would the audience for a theatre festival like this be? Is it really the people who are directly affected by these situations on real life: the 'torture victim', the agoraphobic, the spy, the couple denied a civil marriage? Or is it the folk who have no concept of how it might feel to be a true victim of these global issues? Is it them who we are trying to convince? Or maybe its those people who have already made up their mind about their opinions and have no desire to change. Approaching them may be the greatest challenge but ultimately, if we can make them think, reconsider or give them justification for believing one way or another, surely we have done our job: teased out a response even if its just a solitary moment of hesitation.
