Revolution of Theatre

The Revolution of Theatre refers to significant changes in dramatic arts, particularly from the late 19th century to the 20th century, which transformed how stories are told on stage. This era saw the rise of realism, moving away from melodramatic styles towards more authentic performances that depicted everyday life. Innovations included new lighting, stage design, and acting techniques. Influential figures like Stanislavski emphasized psychological depth, while movements like modernism and absurdism challenged traditional narrative structures. This evolution allowed theatre to explore complex themes and engage audiences in fresh, thought-provoking ways, laying the groundwork for contemporary performances.
