1960s Theatre
The 1960s was a transformative decade for theatre, marked by a shift towards more experimental and avant-garde productions. Influenced by social movements, playwrights began to explore themes of identity, race, and politics. Notable works included Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and Tennessee Williams' "The Night of the Iguana," which challenged traditional narratives and character development.
Additionally, the rise of Off-Broadway productions provided a platform for new voices and innovative storytelling. The decade also saw the emergence of The Living Theatre and The Actors Studio, which emphasized improvisation and realism, reflecting the changing cultural landscape of the time.
