This website gives a basic overview of modern theatre from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries. The website talks about playwrights of the time, as well as specific plays being written and performed during this time period. The website talks about the introduction of plays "with ordinary people as characters, such as in She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith and The School for Scandal by Richard Sheridan." The website also talks about technological innovations and "emphasis on more natural forms of acting." This website would be useful for anyone looking for a general overview of modern theatre.
