Index


`The theatre is no longer a middle-class drawing-room. Ever since sophisticated European audiences exploded in near-riots at the first performances of Waiting for Godot avant-garde playwrights have been breaking through the crust of stage conventions to the shifting core of psychological reality present in human hopes, fears and dreams. In plays by such writers as Beckett, lonesco, Genet and Pinter language gutters, communication falters, character and personality disintegrate the very sequence of time and laws of physics may go by the board. Shorn of all certainties these dramatists are confronting a world in which God is dead, a world which, in the Existentialist sense, is absurd. Martin Esslin`s classic study of the dramatists of the Absurd has been fully revised for this Pelican edition. In it he examines the origins, nature and future of a movement whose significance transcends the bounds of the stage and influences the whole intellectual climate of our time.`
