If we follow with Paul's suggestion and Alter the first few words to read

"Australian Theatre .." Then I would say that the statement is true for all theatre in all contries. After all, isn't the statement the definition of theatre?

To chronicle society, to confront and engage audiences through staging techniques such as direction (blocking), dramatic interpretation, sound and lighting.

That is what theatre is all about. It will always be true. It is the core of theatre.
