Theatrical Naturalism

Theatrical Naturalism is a style of theatre that aims to represent real life as accurately as possible. It emerged in the late 19th century, influenced by realism in art and literature. Naturalistic plays focus on everyday settings, relatable characters, and dialogue that mimics real speech. Unlike traditional theatre, which often exaggerates or romanticizes, naturalism seeks to capture the complexities of human behavior and social issues, reflecting the environment and experiences that shape individuals. This approach emphasizes authenticity, often using detailed sets and props to create a believable world for the audience.
