Edwardian Drama

Edwardian Drama refers to plays and theatrical works produced during the Edwardian era (1901-1910), characterized by a focus on social issues, class distinctions, and personal relationships. These dramas often portrayed the complexities of British society, highlighting themes like societal change, morality, and human nature. The style tends to be realistic, with detailed character development and dialogue, reflecting the evolving cultural values of the period. Edwardian Drama bridges the Victorian era’s formality and the more experimental approaches of later modernism, serving as a mirror to the societal tensions and aspirations of early 20th-century Britain.
