Theatre of the Absurd
‘Human interactions are central to Absurdist drama, but the plays show that these are ultimately meaningless. ...
Theatre of the Absurd explores many themes closely reflecting the existentialist theories. Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco are two of the most famous Absurd writers and were vital playwrights in this movement. In their plays Waiting for Godot and Bald Prima Donna, they explore these themes thoroughly using the unique theatre conventions of Absurd Theatre. ...
The fire chief in Bald Prima Donna embodies a typical hero figure in realism theatre. ... This is also a demonstration of contradictions, a convention of Absurd Theatre used by Ionesco. ... The play’s set is seemingly realist, however as the play is executed we realize is if far from realism theatre.
