Summary/Abstract: Drama is almost a Cinderella of literature, ignored by the common reader, it is brought to the fore only by the theatrical performance. Some critics believe that a text should be staged first and only then published. When we observe the epoch 1945-2000, we notice that the theatrical environment always changed depending on the social/political reality. For a long time, the theatrical performance was primarily a propaganda space, a place of indoctrination. In this study we present three authors who represent three directions a. the ideology that defeats the aesthetic (Maria Banuș) b. the escape/refuge in cosmopolitanism (Iulia Petrescu) c. post-December 89 freedom (Andreea Vălean).
