Portfolio: Modern British Drama. The Twentieth Century

Summary of the article written by Christopher Innes:

Being the most prolific period in English Drama, it's not easy to make a division or to catalogue the Twentieth Century in just one trend but, above all the different movements, it can be said that British Drama became a playwright's theatre. Its function has been constantly redefined, rejecting the logical structures and reason, it becomes more experimental and the object is now to create an effect in the audience, to make them think, to create a debate by criticizing through irony, parody or portraying the reality of a society they want to change. The three main trends of theatre will be then Realism, Comedy and Poetic Drama.
