This work investigates the rise and fall of the propagandist theatre of Moral Re-Armament (MRA), which owned the Westminster Theatre in London, from 1946 to 1997. MRA operated a unique theatre movement which was initially extremely successful in taking a stand against the avant-garde drama of the twentieth century. Its own controversial plays pro-moted an ideology of living by four absolute moral standards: honesty, purity, unselfishness and love. Although MRA theatre was ultimately not sustainable, it achieved much during its fifty year existence. It delivered plays that not only promoted its ideology and dealt with controversial issues but also pro-vided a valid and valuable alternative to the left-wing and experimental theatre of the twentieth century.
