Theatre of the Absurd
Again in the 1950s the Theatre of the Absurd profoundly affected British dramatists, especially Irishman Samuel Beckett's play "Waiting for Godot", Among those influenced were Harold Pinter (1930–2008), ("The Birthday Party", 1958), and Tom Stoppard (1937– ) ("Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead",1966).
