RESTORATION, the re-establishment of monarchy in England, with the return of Charles II (1660). One of the characteristic genres of the period is Restoration comedy, or the comedy of manners, which developed upon the re-opening of the theatres. Its principal writers were Congreve, Etherege, Farquhar, Vanbrugh and Wycherley, and its predominant tone was witty, bawdy, cynical and amoral. The plays were mainly in prose, with passages of verse for the more romantic moments; the plots were complex and usually double, sometimes triple, though repartee and discussion of marital behaviour provide much of the interest, reflecting the fashionable manners of the day. (William Congreve: The Way of the World)

TYNAN – CRITIC (very influential), advocating naturalism and "working class drama". A moving force in the creation of the National Theatre, and its literary manager from 1963-1969.

KITCHEN SINK DRAMA is a term applied in the late 1950s to the plays of writers such as Arnold Wesker, Sheilagh Delaney and John Osbourne which portrayed working-class or lower-middleclass life, with emphasis on domestic realism. These plays were written in part as a reaction against the drawing-room comedies and middle-class dramas of Noël Coward (Private Lives) and Terence Rattigan, and also undermined the popularity of the verse drama of T.S. Eliot and Christopher Fry. Kenneth Tynn was a principal advocate of this new group of writers.

THEATRE OF CRUELTY is a type of theatre advocated by Antonin Artaud, in which gesture movement, sound and symbolism are emphasised, rather than language.

THEATRE OF THE ABSURD Drama in which normal conventions and dramatic structure are ignored or modified in order to present life as irrational or meaningless. (Plays stressing the irrational or illogical aspects of life, usually to show that modern life is pointless.) Theatre of the Absurd – a term used to characterize a number of European and American dramatists of the 50's and early 60's. The function of such theatre: to give dramatic expression to the philosophical notion of the "absurd". Defining the world sa "absurd" is to recognize its fundamentally mysterious and indecipherable nature, and this recognition is frequently associated with feelings of loss, purposelessness and bewilderment. Theatre of the Absurd gives ample expression to such feelings; often leaves the observer baffled, faced by disjointed, meaningless, repetitious dialogues incomprehensible behaviour plots which deny all notion of logical or "realistic" development. Recognition of the absurd nature of human existence also provided dramatists with a rich source of comedy, well illustrated in two early absurd plays Iobesco - "The Bald Prima Donna" (1948 - Eng. 1958) Beckett – "Waiting for Godot" (1952 – Eng. 1954) The theatre of the Absurd drew significantly on popular traditions of entertainment, on mime, acrobatics, and circus clowning, and, intent on redefining the legitimate concerns of "serious" theatre, played an important role in extending the range of post-war drama. Some of the dramatists associated with the Theatre of the Absurd Arthur Adamov (1908 -1970) E.A. Albee (1928 - ) Beckett, Camus, Genet, Ionesco, Jarry (1873 – 1907), H. Pinter (1930 - ), and B. Vian.
