Gender in Postmodern Drama: Is Drama Written Differently by Men and Women?

RIMAH SALEH ALYAHYA

Abstract


Postmodern male and female writers have played very important roles as far as the representation of their drama works are concerned. Each gender has added something unique to their writings and approaches that differentiate them from the opposite sex hence influencing his/her style of writing. This study investigates the role of gender in postmodern drama to show how men and women have written and represented drama differently.
