| Abstract | ||
| Postmodernism is an intellectual and philosophical movement that emerged in the late 20th century as a response to the modernist ideas that had dominated various fields, including literature, the arts, architecture, and the social sciences earlier in the century. This movement rejects the authority of grand narratives and embraces pluralism and subjectivity instead of the Enlightenment ideas of reason, rationality, and objective truth. In literature and specifically in the field of playwriting, postmodern dramatists have used a variety of techniques, to challenge conventional dramatic structures and norms. Therefore, the aims of this research is to study the postmodern narrative technique, particularly split scenes, in Tony Kushner's Angels in America to examine how this work challenges conventional narrative structures and themes and how the employed technique contributes to the understanding of postmodern theatre. The study also aims to show how these technique affect the audience's engagement with the work, thus improving their understanding of this play through the lens of postmodernism. | ||
