The Great Naturalistic Playwrights
The two most notable Naturalistic playwrights are Anton Chekhov and Henrik Ibsen
Chekhov worked with Stanislavski at the Moscow Art Theatre.
Ibsen is widely referred to as the 'father' of modern drama.
(Pretty strong references...I think you'll agree)
These authors believed in the acting method that was proposed and developed by Stanislavski; their plays had scenic reality, a linear timeline, thematic realism etc...
Basically they were written with this method of acting in mind.
For each of the following plays provide a short summary that makes note of the main events of the play, some of the characters, the moral/message and the context (time and place).
