Turkish Theater History from the Beginning to 1983

Telling an event or a story through dance, movement and facial expressions is as old as human history. But these elements came together verbally and gained a structural unity in Ancient Greece, and theater art gained its classical lines. While Metin And examines the history of Turkish theater in this work, he specifically states that he makes certain limitations in time and place and only deals with the theater of the Turks who settled in Anatolia. In this work, the author, after describing in detail the traditions of Peasant (Abduction, Agricultural Games, Shepherd's Games, etc.) and Folk Theater (Juggler, Meddah, Kukla, Karagöz, etc.) under the title of "Traditional Turkish Theatre", focuses on Turkish theater under Western influence. , respectively, researches and interprets the plays performed during the Tanzimat, Constitutional Monarchy and Republic periods, male and female artists, theater venues, the language used in the plays, laws related to theatre, and the general public's and administrators' views on theatre.
