Dramatic realism

Dramatic realism is a style of drama that aims to portray real life and human emotions truthfully on stage. It focuses on believable characters, relatable situations, and realistic dialogue, often addressing social issues and personal struggles. This approach emerged in the late 19th century, championed by playwrights like Henrik Ibsen and Anton Chekhov. Unlike heightened or stylized forms of theatre, dramatic realism seeks to create a sense of authenticity, allowing audiences to connect deeply with the characters and their experiences, reflecting the complexities of everyday life.
