【正确答案】正确答案：The Theatre of the Absurd; The Theatre of Absurd refers to the dramas of the 1950s which evoke the absurd by abandoning logical form, character, and dialogue together with realistic illusion. The phenomenon was led by Samuel Beckett whose work, Waiting for Godot, revives some of the conventions of clowning and farce to represent the impossibility of purposeful action and the paralysis of human aspiration. Other dramatists associated with the theatre of the absurd include Edward Albee, Harold Pinter, and Vaclav Hovel.
