Summary/Abstract: Yunus Nüzhet Unat's play "Haydi Suna", written in 1936, is a text showing the characteristics of Early Republican Period literature. The administrators of the newly established state made cultural propagandas to spread the revolutions among the people. One of the most important means of these propaganda elements is theatrical plays. Some writers of the period, especially names such as Faruk Nafiz and Aka Gündüz that we can include in the nationalist literature, wrote plays in accordance with the politics of the new state. These written plays were exhibited to the public all over the country, especially in Community Centers and People's Rooms. Through the propaganda in the plays, discourses were made about how an ideal individual and society should be. Yunus Nüzhet Unat's play "Haydi Suna" is a play with these features. The events in the game take place in 2023. The author tried to give impressions from the view of Turkey in its 100th year from the point of view of 1936. "Haydi Suna" play is a utopian work that takes place in the Early Republican Period plays and takes place in the future. In this study, the fictional time of the text, which takes place in 2023, will be compared with the year 2023 in real life. Time readings will be made on the data obtained as a result of the comparison.
