The first theatre in Britain that we may recognize as such was that of the Romans. While we know a great deal about the Roman theatre its effect on Britain seems to have been limited – theatres were small and not particularly numerous (and may have been used for sports‚ gladiatorial contests and other mass spectacle entertainments more than for classical theatre).

When I was a child‚ my mother noticed that I was full of too much energy for her to handle‚ so she sent me to an after-school theatre program at my elementary school. This was groundbreaking for me. Being the middle-child often means that you are never really the center of attention.

But it is used in a somewhat different sense when we speak of the ‘Theatre of the Absurd’‚ or more commonly known now-a-days as ‘Absurd Drama’. The phrase ‘The Theatre of the Absurd’ was coined by the critic Martin Esslin‚ who made it the title of his book on the same subject‚ published in 1961.

Theatre Evaluation- A Dolls house On the 21st of July I saw a performance of ‘A Doll’s house’ written by Herrick Ibsen in the Young Vic theatre in London‚ directed by Carrie Cracknell.

truth to it. Theatre of the absurd is an esoteric avant-garde style of theatre based on the principles of existentialism that looks at the world without any assumption of purpose. Existentialism and Theatre of the Absurd became identified with a cultural movement that flourished in Europe in the 1940s and 1950s‚ after the Second World War.
