Flies, the playwrights use different areas of the domestic settings to help the audience look into the lives of the characters involved. The setting of Trifles is at farmhouse kitchen in the Midwest.

From the kitchen, there are three doors: one to the parlor, one to the upstairs, and one to the shed and then on to the outdoors. In the middle of the room is a rustic dining table

Growing-Up Explored in Banana Yoshimoto’s Kitchen The first time I read Kitchen, I knew I was experiencing something very special. Not since my initial reading of Catcher in the Rye have I witnessed such a perceptive look at the joys and pains of growing up.

While they were busy lapping up the milk I used the opportunity to go back inside the kitchen to look for some more of those cans of tuna that I’d found tucked away in one of the kitchen cupboards, but I couldn’t find any this time.

Form and Structure of Absurd Person Singular by Alan Ayckbourn Plays are usually divided into acts and scenes.
