Stanley Houghton

    Stanley Houghton fu un importante drammaturgo britannico dell'inizio del XX secolo, le cui opere esplorarono spesso le tensioni sociali e le trasformazioni dell'Inghilterra dell'epoca. Divenne rinomato principalmente per la sua capacità di catturare il linguaggio e i costumi dell'epoca, conferendo alle sue opere un senso di realismo e atemporalità. La sua opera più celebre, rappresentata per la prima volta nel 1912, rimane un pezzo fondamentale per la comprensione del teatro britannico moderno delle origini. Houghton contribuì in modo significativo alla cultura letteraria del suo tempo anche attraverso il suo lavoro di critico teatrale e i suoi articoli pubblicati su prestigiosi giornali.
