kitchen-sink drama

Genre of British drama which depicts the real and often sordid quality of family life. The plays are socially and politically motivated, seeking to focus attention on the destruction of moral values caused by consumerism and the break down of community. Writers include Arnold Wesker and John Osborne. Kitchen-sink drama is related to the kitchen-sink movement in art, a loose-knit group of British painters, active in the late 1940s and early 1950s
