==Theatre of the Grotesque== The term "[[Theatre of the Grotesque]]" refers to an anti-[[Naturalism (theatre)|naturalistic]] school of Italian dramatists, writing in the 1910s and 1920s, who are often seen as precursors of the [[Theatre of the Absurd]]. Characterized by ironic and macabre themes of daily life in the World War 1 era, Theatre of the Grotesque was named after the play 'The Mask and the Face' by Luigi Chiarelli, which was described as 'a grotesque in three acts.' [[Friedrich Dürrenmatt]] is a major author of contemporary grotesque comedy plays.
