Question

A play contains so little action that it is hard to describe what happens in it. The characters have many unrealistic qualities. Their words develop the theme that life is essentially meaningless. In which literary era was this play most likely written?

Answer 1

Answer: In the 1950s-1960. I think it is called The Theatre of the Absurd

Answer 2

Between the 1950s and 1960s.

Step-by-step explanation:

This literary era was known as "Theatre of the Absurd", and it was characterised by a fascination with absurdity in all its forms – philosophical, dramaturgical, existential, emotional. This is a drama form that pushes theatre to extremes, and which asks probing questions about what reality (and unreality) really looks like. Often interpreted as a response to the challenges of living in a 20th-century world that seems devoid of meaning, it is frequently far more nightmarish than funny.
