Abstract:

It has become a critical commonplace of recent years that the current period of political drama started with the upheavals of 1968. It is often stated that before that year, playwrights of the post 1956 generation generally held liberal views which were broadly critical of British society's major institutions, but stopped short of criticising such bodies as the Labour Party. My aim will be to reassess this view in the light of the black comedies of the period 1964 to 1974. These plays held in common a number of stylistic characteristics and thematic obsessions, and were particularly notable fo

Abstract:

In 1961 Martin Esslin created the term 'Theatre of the Absurd' as a working hypothesis, a device with which to make fundamental traits present in the plays of a number of France-based dramatists accessible to discussion by tracing the features they had in common. Despite the popularity of Esslin's study, there has been no comparable discussion of England-based absurdism. An explanation for this lack of critical attention may be found in the dogged insistence amongst scholars that there are only two absurd playwrights in the English theatre before 1967. My first aim in this thesis is to redress

Abstract:

Entitled “Reassessing the Theatre of the Absurd: Parabolic Drama and the Question of Absurdity,” my dissertation interrogates the conventional idea that the Theatre of the Absurd contemplates the purposelessness of life by re-examining some of the major plays of Beckett, Ionesco, Genet and Pinter. I suggest that the plays of the Theatre of the Absurd are, instead, ethical texts that contemplate how life can be made meaningful. I argue that Martin Esslin’s 1961 characterization of such work as “absurd” does not take into account a fully informed reading of Camus, and thus Esslin’s reading does

The Theatre of Absurd may be the most famous representative of this genre due to the absurdist philosopher Albert Camus. The emergence of absurdist theatre impacted on the drama criticism at that time, but its influence seems to be fading away. However, we can find out that existentialism keeps within the new wave of theatre because of the everlasting question of Being. Therefore, this thesis mainly focuses on finding the connection among three styles of drama: the drama of existentia

The 1950s and 1960s in Czechoslovakia witnessed a fundamental shift in the dramatic and theatrical realms. Following the Communist takeover of 1948, Soviet-inspired Socialist Realism became the official aesthetic of the Czech lands, displacing the avant-garde trends that had dominated the pre-war era. This normative aesthetic program demanded a party-minded ideological perspective (partiinost) and a certain level of accessibility to the masses (narodnost).
