After reading A Doll’s House and learning some more background of many of the prominent playwrights in the modernists period of theatre, I’m really beginning to wonder why these authors choose theatre and plays as their medium of expressing their ideas in the first place. For many of these plays, you can easily re-create them as a short novel, and many of these playwrights were writing in different forms to begin with, so why choose theatre? Especially for something that isnt part of popular entertainment and most likley wont get seen by the masses to begin with?
