Presentation transcript:

When someone asks what genre does this play belong to they mean what style, type or kind of play is it? We’ve learnt about 3 genres so far…..

Naturalism is when the play seems just like real life, the actors are convincing, the plot believable and the set is very life like. My name is Henrik Ibsen and I’m famous for writing plays that are in the naturalism category including A Dolls House.

I’m William Shakespeare although Mrs Clark does insist on calling me Shakey!! I am famous for writing plays that are tragedies like Romeo and Juliet. What normally happens in a tragedy is the hero will die and then any chaos is resolved and everything goes back to normal.

I’m famous for writing a farce called Loot. My name is Joe Orton. Farce plays are funny because people get themselves into embarrassing situations that are caused by human error, misunderstandings and complication.

Today’s genre is….. This genre can also be a funny one because the play will be ridiculous and illogical which some audiences will find amusing. The absurd play you are exploring is called ‘Waiting for Godot’ by this guy, Samuel Beckett. It’s about two tramps waiting for a bloke called Godot who never turns up. They spend the entire play finding ways to pass the time……..How absurd!
