The British absurd plays and Kannada absurd plays are compared with each other. The comparative criticism of drama is a useful one here. It helps us know the relative worth of two literatures namely the British absurd theatre and the Kannada absurd theatre. That way it is known that both the theatres made a name. Of course, the British absurd theatre, unlike the Kannada absurd theatre, has an old history and a permanent position in European drama. Yet the Kannada absurd theatre has made a dint of its own name. After an in-depth study of the two, what we notice is that both the theatres make use of situations in modern man's life. They depict man's anguish, dread, angst, trauma, faith and failings. They speak of man's metaphysical anguish. Both theatres make use of a similar kind of methodology.
