Our first playwright is Christopher Marlowe. He only
wrote four plays and died before he was thirty,
but influenced our next playwright: William Shakespeare.
Shakespeare wrote 38 plays and changed the way people looked
at plays
Like Shakespeare, Chikamatsu Monzaemon
is considered to have
the greatest impact on Japanese plays.
One of the greatest playwrights of the twentieth century is
Arthur Miller, who also was married to Marilyn Monroe.
Finally, we come to Hideki Noda
He has written 40 plays and brings Japanese drama
to an international audience.
W-R-I-G-H-T, what does that mean? It means ‘Work.’
A playwright works at making a play.
