Excerpt from The Voice, Vol. 1: April, 1929 The modern drama is not so spectacular and pageant like as it was in the Elizabethan Age. Now we have a more intimate drama performed in the smaller theatres, With fewer characters and less splendor. More often there is one central plot, Without a subplot, and everything is centered on the development of that one plot. Ibsen, in the matter of technique, marks the turning point of the European drama. He is known also for the naturalness of dialogue, and adherence to the unity of time and place.
