ABSTRACT
Dramatic art has been in a process of evolution for several years. Naturalism on the one hand and Wagnerianism on the other have violently displaced earlier boundaries. Certain things which, twenty years ago, were not considered ‘theatre’ (according to that absurdly hallowed expression) are now almost commonplace. This has caused some confusion: we hardly know now what style suits a particular play; and our taste for foreign productions will not guide us.
