Abstract

The article deals with basic tendencies of the Theatre of the Absurd in A. Delendik’s, A. Astashonok’s, I. Sidoruk’s and N. Arahovsky’s works. These trends are compared with Harold Pinter’s literary heritage. The comparative analysis helps not only comprehend the peculiarities of English drama but also reveal links between Belarusian drama and Western theatre, which determines the role of Belarusian drama in the whole literature process.
