In a country enraged by Tony Blair's decision to join America in invading Iraq (news - web sites), nothing fills a theater faster than a play about George W. Bush.

Combine the two leaders and you have a surefire hit in Britain, which is currently enjoying a renaissance in political theater.

Trust in Blair has plunged, disdain for politicians has soared and theater offers disillusioned voters a sense of engagement.

The political palette offers many hues -- from the satire of "The Madness of George Dubya" and "Embedded" through to David Hare's complex polemic "Stuff Happens."

"The Bush administration's wars in Afghanistan (news - web sites) and Iraq are proving to be as good to the theater as they have been to America's major arms dealers," said The Independent newspaper.
