Absurdism—Non-realistic theatre form that uses various stage and literary conventions to express that humanity’s efforts to find inherent meaning in the universe will ultimately fail. Capa y Espada—An action-packed drama of the Spanish Golden Age often employing capes, sword fighting, and a romance Comedy of Manners—Comedy presenting sophisticated characters in drawing room situations, poking fun at their manners. Commedia Dell’arte—Italian comedy developed in the 16th century, flourishing into the early 18th century. It employed stock characters using improvisational acting rather than drawing from a prepared manuscript. Usually performed outdoors on platforms and often utilized political or social satire of concern to the common people. Farce—A play in which ridiculous situations and exaggerated actions are used for humorous effect. Grand Guignol—Short drama stressing horror and sensationalism. Kabuki—A traditional Japanese form of theatre dating from the seventeenth century, featuring stylized singing and dancing, elaborate makeup, rousing stage action and more scenery than the Japanese Noh Drama. Kyogen—A brief Japanese play performed between Noh plays to provide comic relief. Little Theatre—Experimental or avant-garde drama, usually amateur, originating from a theatrical movement of the 1920s. Liturgical Drama—Drama based on the liturgy to commemorate such holy days as Easter, Christmas, Chanukah or any religious theme. Melodrama—An exaggerated, plot-driven, fast-moving play in which incidents and situation are more important than depth of character or theme. Once taken seriously as an enormously popular form of entertainment, the overblown dialogue, display of overwrought emotion, stock characters and simplistic morality of good triumphing over evil reminiscent of nineteenth- century, pre-Method acting, lends itself more to comedy, farce or satire in contemporary theatre. Morality Play—A didactic play popular in late medieval times that has allegorical characters representing vice, greed, good deeds, etc., who fought to control man’s soul. Musical—plays that use music and songs to advance the plot, and in which the music is very interrelated to the structure. Naturalism—A type of theatre developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that revolted against the artificiality of acting and play scripts that were in vogue, in particular the melodrama of the 1880s. Instead, these writers depicted a sordid humanity controlled by forces beyond its control, such as environment, heredity and evolution. Attention to detail in production led to the development of the “slice of life” play and production aesthetic. Ironically, these plays are quickly “dated” by the events depicted and fail to carry universal or transcendent appeal. Noh—Classical Japanese musical drama developed in the fourteenth century. This form features minimal scenery with performers, almost exclusively male, who present stylized acting with masks and detailed costumes. The performers chant their lines and are accompanied onstage by a chorus and musicians (who play the transverse flute and three different types of drums). Stagehands, dressed in black, assist the actors in full view of the audience during the performance. Old Comedy—Greek comedy of the 5th century BCE which combined robust humor with biting personal and political satire. Parody—A play that is a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece. Peking Opera—A form of traditional Chinese theatre which combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance and acrobatics. Postmodernism—A form of theatre begun in the 1960s in reaction against the dogma, principles or practices of modernist theatre. Puppetry—A performance of doll-like figures representing people or animals, manipulated by hand from within the figure or by other means, such as cables operated from above by one or more puppeteers. Realism—A theatre movement begun around 1840 concerned with portraying life as it is, as compared to the more idealistic acting and writing of romanticism which preceded it. Satyr—In Greek drama, a short play presented after three tragedies to supply the comic relief. So-called because the chorus disguised themselves as satyrs, half men and half goat creatures. Surrealism—A movement that attempts to depict the subconscious experience and is characterized by imagery and a disjointed structure. Tragedy—A serious play that excites pity and terror through a succession of unhappy but inevitable events. Traditionally, the leading character is brought to catastrophe as a result of his own passion, limitation or “tragic flaw.” Tragicomedy—A play which is a blend of tragic and comedic elements.
