Because I thought I could find someone here who knows:
Can I have some examples of "Naturalistic" plays?
I have to do a naturalistic monologue for my acting class and don't really know what naturalistic entails,
Is "THe Skin of Our Teeth" something that could fit n that category?
Thanks
Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winter's rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone and ta'en thy wages:
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

Didn't your acting teach explain what a naturalistic play is?
The Skin of Our Teeth is not a naturalistic play. Try Ibsen, Strindberg, Shaw, Chekhov.
