Realism

Realism is a big part of making a realist production successful, and the argument of weather life can be presented on stage as it ‘really is’ seems to be a discussion that no two play writes will ever agree on. The “objectifying” of women in the realist plays ‘Dolls House’ and ‘Pygmailion’ is a feature that makes the plays real and both present a different view of reality of women place in a mans world. …

…IN conclusion A Dolls House and Pygmalion are both excellent realist plays and written by two play writes that have a wonderful way of trying to represent the majority of life and realism on stage. It seems though that a Dolls house – a play about serious problems is a little more interesting, a better example and probably more appropriate for the upcoming Theatre-in-education travelling show as the “objectifying of women” seems a little more obvious.
