Norwegian dramatist Henrik
Ibsen was a pioneer in developing modern realistic drama. Along with playwrights like August Strindberg, he revolutionized the theatre of the late 19th century by dealing with taboo subject matter in a manner that mirrored everyday life. Much of their work was controversial and could not be produced in state or commercial theatres. Shown here, Cate Blanchet in “Hedda Gabler” in a Sydney Theatre Company Production. © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 2
3.
 Background: The Modern
Era (1875-present)  Pioneers ▪ Henrik Ibsen (Norwegian) ▪ August Strindberg (Swede) ▪ Anton Chekhov (Russian)  Began in the late 19th century and continues to this day © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 3
4.
 Theatrical Realism  Everything
onstage is made to resemble observable, everyday life  Power lies in its credibility and sense of identification  Departure from realism © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 4
5.
 Realistic Playwrights  Henrik
Ibsen ▪ Considered founder of modern realistic drama. ▪ Best known for “A Doll’s House” and “Hedda Gabler” ▪ Felt drama should tackle taboo subjects for stage ▪ Refused to make clear moral judgements in his plays © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 5
6.
 Realistic Playwrights  August
Strindberg â–Ş 20 years younger than Ibsen; took realism another step in plays like “Miss Julie” and “The Father.” â–Ş Personalized and intensified Ibsen’s realism â–Ş Instead of focusing on people in a social context, focused on people at war with themselves and with each other â–Ş Took realism closer to “naturalism” in early part of his career ď‚ No intermission ď‚ Characters multidimensional, complex and contradictory ď‚ Scenery needs to be real pots and pans, etc ď‚ Dialogue is interrupted and fragmented to imitate real life © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 6
7.
 Realistic Playwrights  Anton
Chekhov ▪ “The Seagull” was at first a failure, then a huge success at the Moscow Art Theatre ▪ Major plays include “Uncle Vanya,” “Cherry Orchard,” and “The Three Sisters.” ▪ Introduced important element to realism – ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ moved away from melodramatic elements like suicide Dealt with a full gallery of characters (12-14) not just 5 or 6 Orchestrated characters so their stories overlapped Developed tragicomedy © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 7
8.
 Naturalism --
special form of realism developed in Europe in 19th century; not carefully plotted or constructed but meant to be a “slice of life”  Developed alongside realism  A subdivision of realism, or an extreme form of realism  Began in France and spread to other countries  Most famous naturalistic theorist and playwright was Emile Zola (French) © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 8
9.
 Naturalism continued  Everything
onstage should seem to have been lifted     directly from everyday life Dramatic action should never seem contrived but rather look like a “slice of life” Many naturalists believed subject should be lower class Often focused on the sordid aspects of society More strict than realism ▪ Insists on showing stark side of life ▪ Can’t structure events in a way that is aesthetically satisfying © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 9
10.
 Producers of Realism:
Independent Theatres  Exempted from government censorship  Not striving for commercial success  Presented plays to small audiences interested in new dramatic forms  Best known: Theatre Libre (Free Theater) in Paris in 1887 by Andre Antoine  Most influential 19th century theater dedicated to realism was the Moscow Art Theatre ▪ Founded by Konstantin Stanislavski © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 10
11.
 Producers of Realism:
Independent Theatres  After initial objection and censorship stopped, realistic plays staged in Europe and America  Most important producing group between WWI and WWII was the Group Theatre ▪ Founding members were Lee Strasberg, Cheryl Crawford and Harold Clurman ▪ Resident playwright was Clifford Odets ▪ “Waiting for Lefty” © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 11
12.
 During Depression,
Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration (WPA) ▪ Included The Federal Theatre Project ▪ Helped revitalize theater outside of New York city ▪ Assisted African-American Theatres and artists ▪ Eventually ended because some members of Congress said linked to Communism.  Playwrights around the world continued to write realism between the two World Wars ▪ Irish playwrights, John Millington Synge (“Riders to the Sea”) and Sean O’Casey (“The Plough and the Stars”) ▪ US, Eugene O’Neill (“Desire Under Elms,” “Long Day’s Journey into Night”) and Lillian Hellman (“The Children’s Hour”) © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 12
13.
 Theatrical realism
is often seen as having serious limitations  Realistic drama excludes a number of effective, long-standing theatrical devices ▪ Music, dance, symbolism, poetry, fantasy, and the supernatural  Led to “departures from realism” or “antirealism” ▪ Often uses symbolism, non-linear narratives and dream imagery to avoid realistic representation © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 13
14.
 Antirealist Playwrights:  Ibsen
– “Master Builder” and “When We Dead Awaken” – used symbolism  Strindberg – “A Dream Play,” “The Ghost Sonata” – evoked a world of dreams  Frank Benjamin Wedekind (German) – “Spring Awakening” – combined symbolist and grotesque elements with realistic and controversial subject matter © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 14
15.
 Symbolism –
movement of the late 19th century and early 20th century that sought to express inner truth rather than represent life realistically  Leading antirealistic movement between 1880 and 1910  Drama should present not mundane day-today activities but rather the mystery of being and the infinite qualities of the human spirit  Goal to evoke atmosphere and mood, not to tell a story  Argued against realistic detail in set design © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 15
16.
 Symbolism continued  Called
for poetic theatre in which symbolic images rather than concrete actions would be the basic means of communicating with the audience © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 16
17.
 Symbolism continued  Relied
on independent theaters  Two theaters in France: â–Ş The Theatre d’Art organized by Paul Fort â–Ş The Theatre de l’Oevre â–Ş Most notorious production was NOT symbolist but a play by Alfred Jarry called “Ubu the King” (Ubu Roi, or Ubu Turd (but really a nonsense word) ď‚ Farcical plot that used profanity and scandalous references ď‚ William Butler Yeats part of the audience that rioted ď‚ Ubu Roi banned from stage and Jarry moved it to a puppet theater © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 17

highly formalized theatre, Beijing Opera was developed in China in the 19 th century.
