@seekjustice I couldn’t think of anything to add to what’s already been said, so I followed @princess-foo‘s example and talked to my dad about it. 😉

A couple things I gathered from my conversation with him:

1. An important thing to note is that putting on rebellious plays is not nearly as easy or cool as it sounds, and the logistics of that would have to be thought through.  Where would the plays be put on?  Would they happen in basements, where the only way to find them would be by word of mouth, and all attendees are searched as they enter?  Or would they be held openly in the streets, with the actors hoping to blend in with the crowd if they are interrupted by the police?

2. If the plays were satirical in nature rather than blatantly against the government, it would be harder for the government to censor them, and harder to prove a case against the actors/writers if they were arrested. (I know you have “kangaroo courts” in your Infinity series, but it’s still an argument to make. 😉 )  The plays could also be used as a sort of code, where information/news could be given out using predetermined lines or words added to the script.

These comments don’t directly address your original question, but you seem to be leaning mostly on the side of censorship, so that’s what I went with. 😀
