Since the 1950s, many groups of working-class/bourgeois writers, novelists and playwrights have pushed to bring their opinions and politics to the stage; they became conspicuous at that time and were coined as the "Angry Young Men". Two of the most distinctive members of the Angry Young Men were Sir Kingsley Amis (who wrote Lucky Jim) and John Osbourne (who wrote Look Back In Anger). After the Theaters Act 1968 abolished stage censorship, some of the plays that took to the stage were highly political, brutally direct and highly controversial. People were writing about issues that had been ignored by the government and had been "simmering in British society for some time" to the point that, once stage censorship was lifted, new controversial plays burst onto the stage every decade. such as Saved (originally performed before censorship in 1965), Blasted (1995), Cloud Nine (1979) and Shopping and Fucking (1996). When the Theater Act abolished censorship, the issues of Britain came to the stage in a very controversial way; each play addressed a different issue in Thatcher's Britain or just generally about Britain's problems or history.

I will talk about the ideologies and themes of the play Cloud Nine by Caryl Churchill.

For example, he states: “It is essential that Jos… at the center of the paper… can bring these ideologies and political issues to the stage; especially after the censorship was removed. Churchill, like other politically motivated writers, obviously had a bad taste in his mouth about Thatcher and the way she and the Conservative Party governed Britain. She also went on to write Top Girls which was a two-sided take on Margaret Thatcher's rise to power. Politics had begun to boil as there was a more prominent line beginning to form between social classes. There were gaps between the opinions of the older generations and those of the young. Cultures were starting to divide due to racism in politics. Billington was right that people did not think these barriers and divisions were necessary and took the necessary actions to destroy them; starting to show people how bad society was at the time; using the theatre
