"Kitchen Sink Drama" is a style of realistic drama that emerged in the United Kingdom during the late 1950s. It focuses on the everyday lives of working-class characters, often highlighting their struggles, relationships, and social issues. The term derives from the idea that the stories include everything but the kitchen sink, showcasing a raw and unfiltered view of life. This genre is characterized by its emphasis on dialogue and character development rather than elaborate plots. Notable works include plays by John Osborne and Harold Pinter, which explore themes of disillusionment and the complexities of human relationships in a post-war society.
