English Abstract
The theater of the contemporary British dramatist Peter Shaffer engages a special position in Britain’s dramatic sense.
In terms of technique, his works bring to mind the ritual drama of ancient Greece, the epic theater of Brecht, and the Theater of Cruelty of the French Atonin Artaud.
As such Shaffer’s drama is marked by great emphasis laid on dualities or binary oppositions such as the good/evil duality, intellectual/intention, and spiritual/material and so on.
Leaving aside this striking technical side in Shaffer’s drama, there is a further element that the audience, critics and researcher cannot escape i.e.
the authors successfully manipulation of history capable of carrying various implications and lessons to the contemporary man that makes his drama relevant and valuable.
Given all this, his The Royal Hunt of the Sun and Amadeus share this predominant feature of making history highlight the position of man in his tempestuous world and endless crises.
