Introduction The phrase ‘Absurd Drama’ or ‘The Theatre of Absurd’ gained currency after Martin Esslin’s book ‘The Theatre of Absurd’ was published in 1961. Esslin points out that there is no such thing as a regular movement of Absurd dramatists. According to him, the term is useful as “A device to make certain fundamental traits which seem to be present in the works of a number of dramatists accessible to discussion by tracing the features they have in common.” The term Absurd means having no rational or orderly relationship to man’s life; meaningless; lacking order or value.

The term Absurdism was coined by a drama critic Martin Esslin who gave the name from a quotation “ The Myth of Sisyphus” written by a French dramatist and philosopher named Albert Camus (1913-1960). He saw Absurdism in the context of drama as that which is lacking in purpose, when one is cut off from his religious, metaphysical and transcendental roots; he says all his actions become useless. The concept states that life is meaningless, this was as a result of the occurrences after the Second World War where issues like capitalism, unbalance economic situations, and oppression thrived. At the time, life became meaningless and senseless, and those who seek to find such unavailable meaning or
